ABA League 9th round, Saturday, 7.11.2015:
Sutjeska - CIBONA 68:80 (19:20, 21:24, 19:18, 9:18)
Game recap: Cibona have beaten Sutjeska in their first ever game played in Nikšić and are continuing to rise in the standings towards the upper half. Sutjeska keep waiting for their third success this season. The decisive one was the last quarter in which, especially thanks to their hero James Florence, Cibona have cracked the home side, which enjoyed a fantastic support by their fans in the stands.
Key moments: Between the 34th and 36th minute, Cibona made a 9:0 run, which converted their 63:62 deficit into a 71:63 lead and these are the moments when the game turned around in their favour.
Man of the match: Even though young Ante Žižić did play an amazing game and finished the game with the highest index rating of 30, there is no dilemma on who the main name of the game was - James Florence was the guy that took responsibility whenever it was necessary, led the way in scoring for his team when the decisive moments came and scored 26 points by the end with an excellent 5/9 (56%) success rate in shooting from behind the arc. He is our man of the match.
Can"t trick the stats: When it comes to the airspace control, only one team existed on the court in Nikšić. Cibona grabbed 39 rebounds, while Sutjeska did it only 22 times. With such a dominance on the glass, a miracle should have happened in order to prevent Cibona from triumphing this time.
