Game recap: In the opening game of the Sunday’s AdmiralBet ABA League schedule, Mega MIS have prevailed over Cibona on the road in Zagreb. This is the fourth win in a row for the Belgrade squad and fourth consecutive defeat for Cibona and this triumph comes as extremely important one for Mega MIS, as they will be placed in the Playoffs Zone after 17 rounds of the AdmiralBet ABA League season. They are now on a 7:10 record, just one win up against Cibona and Split, that are both on 6:11 records after 17 rounds of the Regular Season.

Key moments: Mega MIS have opened the game in a fantastic fashion, with a 16:2 run in the opening four minutes. As it turned out later in the game, this opening shock for the home side was the key for the later outcome of the game, as Cibona simply did not manage to bounce back again and return into the battle for a pair of points, so Mega MIS prevailed in the end.

Man of the match: Matej Rudan dominated the paint this time and was the key player for Mega MIS on their way to the convincing win. He finished the clash with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and a valuation of 32. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Mega MIS have been shooting from the field 60% and Cibona only 36%. This was the major difference between the two squads in the end and the reason behind the huge gap on the scoreboard.
