Saturday's clash may decide many things in the final series. Crvena zvezda Telekom have a chance to make a huge step toward the title, but Mega Leks want to tie the score and to secure two games at home court. It's Game 2 of the ABA League Finals!

ABA League Finals, Game 2, Saturday, 30.4.2016:

CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM - MEGA LEKS

Where? Pionir Hall, Belgrade

When? 20:00

Story of the game: Crvena zvezda Telekom have taken the lead in the ABA League Finals after they prevailed over Mega Leks in Game 1 by 95:88. Still, the red and whites are very aware that nothing has been over yet. The Belgrade crew did make the first step toward the championship title, but they had a lot of troubles to break the resistance of the young team of Mega Leks.

Therefore, coach Dejan Radonjić and his men will need to turn on their maximum power in Game 2 in order to avoid any major upset. Especially, because their rivals will be significantly stronger on Saturday evening...

Mega Leks have once again showed that they are deservedly in the ABA League Finals. Despite playing without 5 major players (!!!), the boys led by Dejan Milojević were more than just a worthy opponent to a team that played Euroleague Playoffs!

Mega Leks have failed to keep high rhythm until the end of Game 1, but they should have one more important player in the roster for Game 2 -The top scorer of Mega Leks in this season Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot should be ready for the second clash in the ABA League Finals. It is needless to say how much his presence will mean to the whole team.

Match-up in focus: Quincy Miller vs. Danilo Nikolić. We have already mentioned these two players in our Head to Head preview of the ABA League Finals. We wrote back then that they can burn the net of the rival's basket, if they are in the right shooting rhythm... It happened already in Game 1! Miller scored 17 points for Crvena zvezda Telekom, while Nikolić made 18 for Mega Leks! Expect another basketball shoot-out between these guys.

Head to Head in this season: 3:0.
