We know the first finalist of the 2016/17 Croatian Championship Playoffs! It is Cibona who prevailed over Šibenik by 2-0 in victories in this semifinal series.
After making an important away win in Game 1, Cibona booked their ticket for the Finals at home court by beating Šibenik in Game 2 played in Dražen Petrović Sports Hall.
Cibona have been in front throughout the whole match, while Šibenik only managed to reduce the gap to 66:64 in the middle of the last quarter. However, the hosts then started playing very strong in defense and the result was that they conceded only 2 more points in the rest of the game!
Cibona can therefore start preparing for the Finals in which they will face either Cedevita or Split.
