CIBONA - Krka 90:52 (28:14, 24:14, 18:13, 20:11)
Game recap: Cibona have presented a very powerful display in the last match of Round 7 as they scored a convincing win against Krka in Zagreb.
The first half of this game was probably the best 20-minute period for Cibona in this season. The Wolves have scored 52 points until the halftime, leaving their opponents far behind along the way – 52:28. The home team did not have any problems in the rest of the match to keep that lead.
Cibona have therefore ended their 3-game losing streak in the regional league and they now have the overall score of 4-3. On the other side, Krka are still winless on the road in the ongoing season and their current season score is 3-4.
Key moments: As we have previously mentioned, everything was over in the opening 20 minutes. After all, the halftime score says quite enough - 52:28. Cibona have gained a double-digit lead already by the end of the 1st quarter – 28:14, while the home side continued to push forward in the 2nd quarter, winning that period by 24:14.
Man of the match: Cibona’s big man Nathan Reuvers shined once again, especially defensively as he made 4 blocks this evening. On top of that he scored 11 points and made 4 rebounds.
Can’t trick the stats: This was just not Krka’s night. The visitors scored 52 points, while they made just 12 assists for the entire match.
