Game recap: On Sunday night, Cedevita Olimpija have dominated the court in their home Stožice Arena to roll over Igokea m:tel. It was a monster performance by Cedevita Olimpija and it came right when it mattered the most – against one of the greatest rivals for a Playoffs position, Igokea m:tel and now the Dragons have moved up to fourth place in the standings with a record of 10:7. On the other side, Igokea m:tel will need to keep struggling in order to secure themselves a Playoffs spot when Regular Season ends, as they are now on a 9:9 record on the sixth spot. Even though his team lost, it's worth mentioning the performance of Dalibor Ilić, who has tied the highest valuation of the season (43), as he had 29 points and 11 rebounds for Igokea m:tel this time around.

Key moments: Actually, ever since the fantastic start to the game by the hosts, there has been no dilemma on the final outcome of the game. Cedevita Olimpija started the game with a 13:2 run, grabbed a double-digit lead already by the fourth minute, and as it turned out later in the game, the visiting side did not manage to fight their way back into the battle for the win anymore until the end of the clash.

Man of the match: Yogi Ferrell has led Cedevita Olimpija to the new win like a true floor general. He had 12 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and a game-high valuation of 19. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita Olimpija have outrebounded Igokea m:tel 39:29 and this was the true reason of their dominance.
