ABA League 24th round, Saturday, 13.2.2016:
Where? Dražen Petrović Hall, Zagreb
When? 21:00
Story of the game: Cibona are currently sharing the 5th spot on the standings together with Partizan NIS and Zadar. None of them can reach the ABA League Playoffs, but that 5th place is a matter of prestige and they will give their best to clinch it at the end of the regular season. The crew from Zagreb will play next two games at home court, which is always a huge advantage... The first one is scheduled for Saturday evening, when they are about to host Krka.
Team from Novo mesto have a very, very difficult schedule in the final rounds of the regular season. After this game, they will play against two Playoffs participants - Mega Leks and Crvena zvezda Telekom. Therefore, they will do their best to make a precious break in Zagreb and to escape from a danger zone in front of the last two games.
Match-up in focus: James Brian Florence vs. Matic Rebec. We will probably see a 3-point shootout between two point guards. They can be indeed very "deadly" behind the line if you leave them too much open space...
