Both Cedevita and Igokea want to bounce back after suffering defeats in the previous round. Only one of them will manage to do so on Saturday evening.
ABA League 20th round, Saturday, 28.1.2017:
Where? Dom sportova, Zagreb
When? 21:00
Story of the game: Cedevita are once again two steps away from the 2nd placed Partizan NIS because the Orange crew suffered an unexpected defeat last weekend. Therefore, the boys from Zagreb now simply have to win in order to stay in the race for the 2nd spot on the standings, which is quite significant as it brings the home court advantage in the Playoffs.
However, Cedevita will certainly not have an easy task as they will face the 7th placed Igokea. The squad from Aleksandrovac are not really in their best form as they suffered 3 consecutive defeats in ABA League, but they are still very capable of making big things. The one thing that is not good for Igokea in front of this match is tradition, because they scored only 1 single win against Cedevita in the previous 11 head to head games....
Match-up in focus: You can expect a real basketball shootout in Zagreb, as both teams have point guards who can score plenty of points. On one side there is Ryan Boatright of Cedevita, while on the other there is James Robinson of Igokea. We are eager to watch their duel.
Head to head in regional league: In total 10:1; In Zagreb 5:0.
