ABA League 21st round, Saturday, 4.2.2017:
Where? S.C. Topolica, Bar
When? 19:00
Story of the game: Mornar's home court has become a real basketball fortress. Just take a look at the recent results - The boys from Bar have acquired 5 consecutive wins in their hall! However, as they are one of the two teams that are still waiting for the 1st away win in the 2016/17 season, Mornar haven't yet reached the safe zone on the standings. That is why the upcoming match is very important for them.
But, the opponent is quite strong. After all, it is one of the teams who is very close to secure the spot in the Playoffs - Cedevita.
The squad from Zagreb are making a real effort to finish the regular season at the 2nd spot on the standings, as it would bring them a home court advantage in the semifinals. Therefore, victory is the only option for Cedevita in Bar.
Match-up in focus: Octavius Ellis (Mornar) is that type of player which can shine in any moment and win the battle against any big guy in the league. On Saturday evening he will confront certainly one of the most dominant centers in the league - Miro Bilan (Cedevita). Keep an eye on this duel.
Head to head in regional league: In total 0:1; In Bar 0:0.
