ABA League 25th round, Saturday, 27.2.2016:
Where? šD Leona štuklja, Novo mesto
When? 19:00
Story of the game: With only 1 single win in the last 8 rounds in ABA League, Krka got into a very difficult situation. They are among 4 teams that have 9-15 overall score, but the biggest problem for the Novo mesto side is that they have a very difficult schedule until the end of the season. In this round, Krka will play their last home game against the fourth placed Mega Leks, while in the final round of the regular season they are traveling to Belgrade to face Crvena zvezda Telekom. One win from those two games, might secure the ABA League status for Krka...
On the other side, Mega Leks will definitely enter the Playoffs from the 4th spot, so they have absolutely no pressure in the remaining two rounds. Still, the spirits are very high in the squad from Sremska Mitrovica, especially after winning the Serbian National Cup last week, so they want to keep the good atmosphere with another win...
Match-up in focus: Jure Lalić vs. Nikola Janković. It's the clash of two different types of centers. Lalić is strong and insists to play down at the post, while Janković likes to pull out and score from a long range...
