ABA League 10th round, Sunday, 20.11.2016:
Where? Dom sportova, Zagreb

Story of the game: Cedevita await this big clash in very high spirits. The Orange squad won 6 games out of the last 7 rounds in ABA League, while they are also making excellent results in Eurocup. Therefore, head coach Veljko Mršić and his boys are headed toward the city derby full of optimism, with a clear desire to make another major step toward the top of the standings.
Cibona suffered two consecutive defeats in ABA League, but they are still among the top 4 teams on the standings, where they want to stay until the end of the Regular Season. Still, right now the only thing that matters to the Wolves is to beat the city rival on away court, and they will do everything to win this battle of Zagreb.
Match-up in focus: It will be the duel of two local heroes - Miro Bilan of Cedevita vs. Ante Žižić of Cibona. They are definitely among the best centers of the league, so expect a big battle down in the paint.
Head to head in regional league: In total 8:7; At Cedevita's court 5:2.
