Game recap: It is a perfect Saturday night for celebration in Ljubljana, as Cedevita Olimpija have not only beaten Partizan NIS at home in Stožice Arena in a wonderful atmosphere in front of 4,000 fans, but that also means that they will remain perfect after four rounds played in the ABA League and that only FMP can tie themselves at the top with the Dragons after four rounds. Partizan NIS, on the other hand, stay in the middle of the standings with a 2-2 record after four rounds, but we should mention that the Steamroller played all of their opening four games on the road so far.

Key moments: As the two teams entered the final quarter, the Dragons were still ahead only by a point (58:57), but they have simply dominated the final quarter, which they won with the score of 27:12. With two minutes into the last quarter, Cedevita Olimpija still led 64:63, but then they made a 13:2 run in the following three and a half minutes and they pulled away to 77:65 with four and a half minutes left on the clock. That was a point from which there was no return for the guests.

Man of the match: Andrija Stipanović shined for Cedevita Olimpija, as in only 19 minutes spent on court, he achieved 14 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and a valuation of 19. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita Olimpija have outrebounded Partizan NIS 36:24 and this was their key to victory.
