ABA League Round 22, Monday, 12.3.2018:
Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Hall
When? 18:00
Story of the game: As you all know this match has no importance neither for Crvena zvezda mts nor Cibona, at least when it comes to the final standings of the 2017/18 ABA League regular season. Therefore, you may think that the two old rivals might approach this match as it is some friendly game.
But, we can guarantee you that something like that will not happen.
Simply, it always matters when Crvena zvezda mts and Cibona play against each other. Their rich tradition and old rivalry do not allow them even to think that this is some friendly game.
On top of all of that, it’s the last match of the regular season. Zvezda will try to boost their confidence in front of the Playoffs, while Cibona will do their best to finish their 2017/18 ABA League campaign with a win.
Match-up in focus: Mathias Lessort (Crvena zvezda mts) has had some very good performances during the 2017/18 journey, while this time he will confront the man who is leading the race for the MVP of the season – Luka Žorić (Cibona). It will be a very interesting duel to watch.
Head to head in regional league: In total 22:11; In Belgrade 15:2.
