Game recap: In the first AdmiralBet ABA League game in 2023, Cedevita Olimpija have prevailed over Mega MIS and grabbed not only their first win of the new year, but also their seventh regional league triumph in a row. This win puts Cedevita Olimpija firmly in the top of the Playoffs Zone, just under the very top of the standings after 13 rounds and keeps their chances for finishing atop of the competition when the Regular Season ends, as they are now on a 10:2 record. On the other side, Mega MIS are now on a 3:10 record, near the very bottom of the standings and they will need to keep up the struggle in order to escape the danger zone near the bottom of the standings.

Alen Omić made history during the game as the only 9th player in the entire regional league history, to have crossed 1000 rebounds grabbed milestone. He now has 1006 rebounds and only lacks three more to move up to 8th place in the all-time AdmiralBet ABA League rebounders list.

Key moments: Cedevita Olimpija pulled away by 11 points by halftime, but Mega MIS fought back in the third quarter and managed to cut the gap between two teams to 6 points (52:58), with 4 minutes to go in the third quarter. However, Cedevita Olimpija replied with a 10:2 run over the next 3 minutes of play and were ahead 68:54, as only one minute remained in the third. These were the key moments of the game, as Mega MIS did no have the strength anymore to bounce back until the end of the game.

Man of the match: Once again, Yogi Ferrell has demonstrated an excellent performance, as he lead his Cedevita Olimpija to the new win. The point guard of the Ljubljana squad had 21 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and a valuation of 26 on his record. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita Olimpija have simply outrebounded Mega MIS this time. They had 34 rebounds and Mega MIS only 20 and this is what determined the flow of the game.
