POST-GAME COMMENTS

Game recap: In the ABA League Match of the Round 1, Cedevita Olimpija have beaten Krka in a local derby and won their first game of the season. The win came for the Dragons after a big comeback in the second half and for sure that’s what counts more than merely a pair of points, besides the fact that they have beaten nobody else but their arch rivals of Novo mesto. The latter will therefore have to wait for their maiden win of the 2020/21 season a bit longer.

Key moments: Krka have entered the second half with a 3-point lead (33:36), but in the second half the hosts have managed to turn the game completely upside-down. With a bit less than 4 minutes left in the third quarter, they were already up by 8 points (54:46), after a 6:0 run in 2 minutes. Krka managed to stay relatively close until 37th minute, when the score was 67:64, but then Cedevita olimpija went on a 10:0 run over the next minute and a half, pulled away by 77:64 and the battle for two points was over.

Man of the match: Newcomer Rion Brown proved himself to be quite a good reinforcement for Cedevita Olimpija, as he had 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, a block and a valuation of 29 in his ABA League debut. He is our man of the match.

Can’t trick the stats: Even though Krka won the rebounding battle, Cedevita Olimpija got away with a win, thanks to their excellent 3-point shooting. They were firing 11/23 from beyond the arc (47.8%) and that’s what gave them the victory.
