Igokea and Cedevita are heading toward a very important clash in Laktaši, which may decide their future in the ABA League Regular Season race.
ABA League 7th round, Sunday, 29.10.2016
Where? Sports Hall Laktaši, Laktaši
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Both sides have suffered some painful defeats recently. Igokea firstly lost the home match against Budućnost VOLI after conceding a two-pointer in the final second, while then they got defeated by Crvena zvezda mts on the road after missing a buzzer-beating shot. Still, everybody agrees that Igokea are playing good basketball in this season and that they can be a serious candidate for taking a place in the Playoffs. This is their chance to prove their quality.
Cedevita had a very turbulent week. The team is certainly still recovering from that shocking defeat against Krka in the previous round, while in the meantime they made some changes in the roster. Perre Jackson has arrived in Zagreb and he has already made a debut for the Orange squad in Eurocup, where he scored 29 points against MZT Skopje Aerodrom!
Cedevita also made decision to leave Scotty Hopson, David Stockton and Duje Dukan outside the 1st team, and we are still about to see what will happen with these three players.
Match-up in focus: James Robinson of Igokea is having a tremendous season so far, while it will be interesting to watch his duel against Pierre Jackson who is fired up to prove his quality in ABA League.
Head to head in regional league: In total 1:9; In Laktaši 1:4.
