Game recap: On the road in Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall, Cibona have edged out Mega MIS in overtime in the opening game of the Sunday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule. This way, Cibona, that have opened their AdmiralBet ABA League season with two defeats, have now bounced back with two straight victories and they will be placed in the middle of the standings after Round 4, just where they desire to be. On the other side, Mega MIS keep waiting for their first win of the season, at the very bottom of the standings after 4 rounds.

Key moments: Cibona started the game with a great 8:0 run, and continued in the same pace. By the 8th minute of the game, they have been up 30:17. Afterwards, Mega MIS managed to cut the gap between two sides and even to tie the game in the game’s finish, when Malcolm Cazalon made a three-point play for the score of 85:82. The two sides kept swapping the lead until the end of the regular playing time and the game went to overtime after Aleksandar Aranitović missed the game-winner attempt. It has been the overtime, that has been decisive in the end. Cibona quickly went up by 5 points in the extra period and did not allow Mega MIS to bounce back again this time.

Man of the match: Filip Bundović has been shining all game long for Cibona, as he has delivered 28 points, including 5 three-pointers, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and a game-high valuation of 23! He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Even though Mega MIS have been better in rebounding, Cibona have simply been better in every other statistical category, and have especially stood out in field goal shooting. They had a shooting percentage from the field of 56% and Mega MIS 46%. That’s what turned the flow of the game their way!
