ABA League 25th round, Saturday, 4.3.2017:
Where? Dražen Petrović Arena, Zagreb.
When? 21:00
Story of the game: On Sunday night Cibona will host Mega Leks in an important game for both sides, since the final result will offer many questions regarding the dilemma where the two teams would end up in the standings at the end of the regular season.
Cibona, despite their poor run lately (7 defeats in a row), still hold in their hands realistic chances of taking the final fifth place in the standings. On the other hand, Mega Leks are trying their best to finish in the middle of the standings, rather than near the bottom.
The fact that they have more or less already avoided relegation does not lower their ambitions to show what they are capable of doing.
Winning this game could therefore turn out to be crucial for both sides.
The first time the two sides met this season Cibona were better on the road with the score of 82:71.
Match-up in focus: Will it be young gun Alpha Kaba of Mega Leks or experienced veteran Luka Žorić, that will establish dominance under the rim? Watch the game and find out the answer!
Head to head in regional league: In total 3:4; In Zagreb 2:1.
