This way the Dragons, that remain undefeated at home court in Ljubljana, have bounced back from their blowout defeat in Belgrade against Crvena zvezda Meridianbet last round and will be placed in the upper half of the standings with a 2:1 record after 3 rounds. On the other hand, Split keep waiting for their first win of the season after 3 rounds played and will be placed right at the bottom of the standings with plenty of work still to do this season.

The battle for a new win was over.
Man of the match: Jaka Blažič has been the frontman of Cedevita Olimpija’s big win over Split this time, as he had 20 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and a valuation of 26 on his record. He is our man of the match!
