Game recap: On Monday night, Mega Superbet have prevailed over Cibona on the road in Dražen Petrović Arena in Zagreb. This way, Mega Superbet have achieved a new, important win, their 15th of the season and with 2 rounds to go in the Regular Season, they are in a favourable position in the Playoffs race, as they are tied in the 7th place with Spartak Office Shoes, a win above FMP Soccerbet and two above Zadar, with the latter still having their Round 28 game to play. On the other hand, Cibona is still placed alone in the 15th place and they will need to be winning in the remaining two rounds of the Regular Season, shall they wish to escape the danger zone near the very bottom.

Key moments: It has been a game, where Cibona have been the ones that were in front for the majority of the playing time, but Mega Superbet were the best just when it mattered the most. Cibosi were in front by 5 points as the last quarter started, but the visiting side quickly got in front in the last period. The last time the teams were levelled was with a minute and a half to go in the game (79:79), but that’s when Mega came up with a 5:2 run, that gave them a 3-point lead with 47 seconds to go. Cibona had a chance to get back in the game and even force an overtime in the end, but Sven Smajlagić missed the 3-point shot attempt and the final score was 88:83 in favour of Mega.

Man of the match: Mihailo Petrović was once again the key player of Mega Superbet, as he led them to the win with 28 points, 13 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal and a valuation of 37. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Mega were slightly better in field goal percentage (49% - 52%), rebounding (28 - 30) and turnovers (14 – 11) and that’s what was just enough for their 5-point win in the end.
