ABA League 20th round, Sunday, 17.1.2016:
Where? Višnjik, Zadar
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Zadar will host Cedevita in 20th round of the competition in Višnjik. In a clash of the teams from traditionally rival cities, the Zagreb side will have a chance to get their revenge for the shocking defeat against Dalmatians in the 7th round of the season, when Ante Nazor"s squad took two points home from Dom sportova.
However, we still have to wait and see if they can accomplish it, despite the crisis that they have found themselves in. Let"s remember - they have lost to Budućnost VOLI by 24 points last round in the ABA League and were also afterwards left without a chance in the game against Unicaja during the week in Euroleague.
They hope that they can prove that it is now only a memory from the past against Zadar, that have ended their 6 games long winless streak last round against Tajfun in Celje.
The game will also be important from the charity point of view. The club joined the "Za životnu medalju” campaign and by buying a ticket Zadar fans will help young girl from Zadar Antonija Maričić to collect enough funds for her health treatment.
Match-up in focus: Glenn Cosey became the MVP last round in the ABA League, when Zadar took a new pair of points home from Golovec Hall in Celje. On the other side Jacob Pullen is playing constantly well at the point guard position for Cedevita and he will be a true test for the American on the other side, to prove that his performance in Celje was not just a coincidence.
