This way, Cedevita Olimpija have got their sweet revenge for the defeat in the Round 1 of the competition in Belgrade and at the same time found themselves on a 9:7 record after 16 rounds and they will be placed on the 6th place in the standings, together with Spartak Office Shoes and Zadar. On the other side, FMP Soccerbet are now on a 7:9 record and will be placed just below the edge of the Playoffs Zone when the Round 16 ends.

Key moments: FMP Soccerbet were the ones to start the game in a better fashion, leading by 5:0 in the opening 3 minutes, but Cedevita Olimpija fought back with a 12:1 run and turned the game completely upside-down already by the 7th minute of the game (12:6). 

The key moments, however, arrived in the final 2 minutes of the first half, when Cedevita Olimpija made another big run, this time a 10:2 run, to pull away for good. They conferted their 33:28 lead into a 43:30 lead at the big break and as it turned out later in the game, FMP Soccerbet simply did not manage to fight their way back into the game anymore until the very end.

Man of the match: Rok Radović has been the key player of Cedevita Olimpija on their way to a comfortable win in the end. He led his team to the triumph with game-high 13 points, while adding 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and a game-high valuation of 22. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita Olimpija played this game as a true team. They had 16 assists and FMP Soccerbet only 6, which resulted in a field goal percentage of 53% in comparison to 35% by FMP Soccerbet and that’s what turned the flow of the game their way!
