ABA League 17th round, Wednesday, 30.12.2015:
Where? Arena Stožice, Ljubljana
Story of the game: No one could expect that teams such as Union Olimpija and Cibona would have only 6 wins after 16 rounds... But, that is their current score. Therefore, both teams are placed very low on the standings, with just one win more than the last placed Sutjeska.
No need to write that this game is very, very important. The winner would catch some breath, as it will go outside the danger zone, while the loser will sink even deeper on the table. Union Olimpija will have a home court advantage, while Cibona are in perhaps slightly better form. We will see who will prevail in the last ABA League match in 2015.
Match-up in focus: Sava Lešić is probably the most constant player of Union Olimpija in this season. He is far the top scorer and the top rebounder of his team. Cibona will try to answer via young Ante Žižić who has recovered from injury and is ready for a big battle under the basket.
