Key moments: Zadar was a dominant force in the first half in which they scored 57 points and had a 16-point lead – 57:41. However, with Roko Prkačin on fire, Cibona made a stunning comeback in the 2nd half. The visitors have reduced the gap to 8 points until the end of the 3rd quarter – 70:62, while they then went on to take the lead in the 4th quarter – 77:81. And that is when Dominik Mavra stepped up for Zadar to stop Cibona’s amazing run. Mavra scored 13 points in the final three-and-a-half minutes to win the game for Zadar! His last points in this match were especially important as he made a very difficult floater to give a 3-point lead to his team – 93:90, with just 30 seconds before the end. In the rest of the match, Zadar have made all of their free throws to keep their lead.

Man of the match: The truth is that both Mavra and Prkačin deserve this award, but at the end it will go to the hands of Mavra as his team have won the game. Apart from scoring 33 points today, Mavra has also recorded his ABA League career high index rating 47.

Can’t trick the stats: Cibona had just 8 players in their roster for this game and that might be the reason why their defense was not at the highest level today. Simply, the visitors had to reduce their fouls to a minimum and that resulted in conceding 97 points.
