Game recap: In the opening game of the Sunday’s AdmiralBet ABA League program, Cedevita Olimpija have edged out Krka at home in their Stožice Arena in Ljubljana. For the Dragons of Ljubljana, this is the 8th win of the season and they are now on an 8:7 record midway through the Regular Season, placed just on the edge of the Playoffs Zone. On the other side, Krka are on a 3:12 record and they still have plenty of work to be done ahead of them in this season in case they wish to escape the danger zone near the bottom of the standings, as they remain only 2 wins ahead of the last-placed Mornar-Barsko zlato.

Key moments: Cedevita Olimpija pulled away by 11 points in the opening half (38:27), but Krka managed to fight their way back into the game in the third quarter, during which they managed to take the lead in the very finish of the period. Krka even had a chance to win the game in the regular part of the playing time, but it was Brynton Lemar, that scored a key bucket to keep the Dragons in the game late in the fourth and forced overtime.

The same player stepped up for Cedevita Olimpija once more in the overtime, when he scored a key lay-up to hand the 84:82 win to Cedevita Olimpija in the end.

Man of the match: Devin Robinson has been the key player for Cedevita Olimpija this time, as he led his team to the win with 17 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and a valuation of 16 on his record. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita Olimpija had 46 rebounds and Krka only 34. This helped them win the game in the end, despite a bit poorer numbers in field goal percentages.
