ABA League 8th round, Sunday, 1.11.2015:
Tajfun - CEDEVITA 67:78 (18:15, 16:21, 13:24, 20:18)
Game recap: After suffering two defeats in a row, Cedevita returned to winning track with a strong performance throughout the game in Celje against Tajfun, which they managed to capitalize on in the second half when they pulled off and celebrated the victory with a big margin in the end. Tajfun, that were significantly weakened, without Tomaž Bolčina, keep waiting for their third win of the season since the third round now.
Key moments: Cedevita have managed to pull away from Tajfun since the middle of third quarter. After the 43:40 score in favour of the guests in 25th minute, an 11:2 run followed by the squad, led by Veljko Mršić and they only kept increasing it until late in the game, when their motivation clearly fell and Tajfun managed to cut the deficit.
Man of the match: He has never been the go-to guy at Cedevita and hasn't been today. It's true, Luka Babić was only the fourth scorer of his team during this game, but his intensity and all-around performance was probably the key to help Cedevita break Tajfun. He finished the game with a double double (10 points and 10 rebounds) and has also added 3 assists and just as many steals in his stats. He is the man of the match in Golovec.
Can"t trick the stats: The limitation of Tajfun's inside game was evident this time with one of the key men on their rotation Tomaž Bolčina being absent - Cedevita collected no less than 10 rebounds more than the home side (37:27) and it was impossible for Tajfun to reach the victory with such a deficit.
