Game recap: On Saturday night, Krka have hosted Cedevita Olimpija in what has been another local derby in Novo mesto. It has been Cedevita Olimpija, that emerged victorious, for the second time this season and the Dragons end their Regular Season campaign with a 19:11 record, in the 6th place in the standings, meaning that they will face Dubai Basketball in the Quarterfinals of the AdmiralBet ABA League. On the other hand, the season is over for Krka, which have taken the final 14th place in the standings, just above the danger zone near the bottom of the standings with a record of 5:25, in front of Cibona and Mornar-Barsko zlato.

Key moments: Krka have started the game in a better fashion and were up by 7 points after the first quarter (19:12), but they never really managed to pull away. By halftime the visiting side has cut the gap to only 2 points (40:38). And in the final quarter they eventually turned the game completely upside-down with a 12:0 run between 32nd and 34th minute of the game, that turned Krka’s 71:65 lead into a 71:77 lead for the Dragons. As it turned out, Krka did not manage to fight back and turn the game upside-down again until the end and these were the key moments of the clash.

Man of the match: Devin Robinson has once again shined for the Ljubljana side, as he had 19 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and a game-high valuation of 22. He is our man of the match!

Can’t trick the stats: Cedevita Olimpija have outrebounded Krka 34:28 and that’s what gave them a win in the end.
