Game recap: In the opening game of the 21st round of the AdmiralBet ABA League, Cedevita Olimpija have grabbed an important win over Mornar-Barsko zlato on the road in Topolica Sports Hall. For the Dragons, this is the third win in a row and the one that keeps them in the Top Four with 5 rounds to go in the Regular Season with a record of 12:7. On the other side, Mornar-Barsko zlato have now suffered their fourth straight defeat and with a record of 7:12 they remain in the bottom half of the standings, with their Playoffs odds not looking too good at the moment.

Key moments: The last time that the two squads have been close was 3 and a half minutes before the end of the third quarter, when the Dragons led 57:62. That’s when their 4:13 run began, that lasted until the 30th minute, when they were up with the score of 61:73. That’s when it became clear that a comeback would be extremely difficult for the hosts. As it turned out later in the game – impossible.

Man of the match: Zoran Dragić was the key to the Cedevita Olimpija win this time, as he led his team to the win with 15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and a game-high valuation of 20. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Field goal percentage, rebounds, assists, blocks. You name it! Cedevita Olimpija simply dominated the court in Bar and fully deserved their win this time!
