2025/26 AdmiralBet ABA League Group A Round 11, Sunday, 21 December 2025:
Mega Superbet – CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA 72:90 (16:25, 21:17, 21:16, 14:32)
Game Recap: Cedevita Olimpija continued their impressive run in the AdmiralBet ABA League as they defeated Mega Superbet on the road in Belgrade, recording their eighth consecutive league win. On the other side, Mega Superbet suffered their fourth defeat in the last five games, once again failing to capitalize on a solid stretch of play.
The game itself was full of ups and downs for both teams. Cedevita Olimpija opened the contest in strong fashion, setting the tone early and building a double-digit lead already in the first quarter. However, Mega Superbet refused to go away quietly. Over the next two periods, the home side steadily chipped away at the deficit, raising their intensity on both ends of the floor and eventually pulling level before the final 10 minutes.
But just when it looked like the momentum had fully shifted, it was time for the Dragons to respond. Cedevita Olimpija delivered a dominant performance in the fourth quarter, outscoring Mega Superbet 32:18, to turn a tense battle into a comfortable road victory.
Key moments: The decisive stretch came in the last four minutes of the game. With Cedevita Olimpija holding a narrow 75:70 lead, the visitors stepped on the gas and went on a crushing 15:2 run, putting the game completely out of reach and sealing the win at 90:72.
Man of the Match: The spotlight belonged to Aleksej Nikolić. The Cedevita Olimpija point guard delivered yet another excellent performance, finishing the game with 17 points and an index rating of 23, orchestrating the offense and controlling the tempo when it mattered most.
Can’t trick the stats: Numbers tell a big part of the story. Mega Superbet struggled mightily from long range, making just four three-pointers, while also committing 18 turnovers - a combination that proved far too costly against a red-hot Cedevita Olimpija side.
