Cedevita got defeated by Valencia for the 2nd time in the Eurocup Top 16 stage.

Unfortunately, Cedevita will return from Spain empty-handed, because once again they ended up as the losing side in the match against Valencia. If it is any comfort for the boys from Zagreb, they played a good match against a powerful opponent, however they could not achieve anything more than an honorable defeat.

Cedevita simply lost their strength offensively in the last quarter in which they scored only 7 points, while a team such Valencia is knew how to punish all those missed shots.

The top scorer in Cedevita team was Miro Bilan who made 17 points and had 9 rebounds, while John Shurna added 14 points.

Eurocup Top 16, Round 5, Tuesday, 31.1.2017:

VALENCIA - Cedevita 71:58 (15:19, 20:15, 22:17, 14:7)
