Game recap: In the Round 12 of the AdmiralBet ABA League Regular Season, Cedevita Olimpija have triumphed on the road in Zagreb, achieving their 6th win of the season and their 4th in a row on the AdmiralBet ABA League courts. This way, Cedevita Olimpija find themselves at the edge of the Playoffs Zone, after a slow start to the season and a resurrection that followed afterwards. On the other side, Cibona have lost their fourth consecutive game in the AdmiralBet ABA League and with a 2:10 record after 12 rounds, they will have to keep on grinding in order to escape the danger zone near the bottom of the standings, as they are just one win ahead of the last-placed Mornar-Barsko zlato right now.

Key moments: Cibona have been the ones to start the game in a better fashion and have been in front for the majority of the playing time. They were ahead by 3 points at halftime and by 4 after 30 minutes of play. However, Cedevita Olimpija fought back in the final quarter, pulling off a major comeback with a 12:0 run between the 36th and 39th minutes of the game to get ahead with the score of 61:70. These have been the key moments of the game, as Cibona did not manage to fight their way back into the battle for a pair of points anymore in the final minute of the game.

Man of the match: DeVante Jones led his team to the win in Zagreb like a true floor general! He had a game-high of 18 points, while adding 5 assits, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and a valuation of 28 to his record. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita Olimpija had only 6 turnovers, while Cibona had 24. Valuing the basketball was in the end the thing that turned the flow of the game Dragons’ way.
