Regular Season Round 2: Cibona - Olimpija 96-85

Date: October 5, 2017
There was a surprise result when Croatian Cibona (1-1) beat Slovenian Olimpija (1-1) in Zagreb 96-85. It looked good early as Olimpija took a 2-point small lead at the end of first quarter. But then Cibona had a 24-16 second period charge getting the lead and Olimpija was not able to take back game control losing it eventually 85-96. Cibona players were unselfish on offense dishing 23 assists comparing to just 10 passes made by Olimpija's players. The best player for the winners was center Luka Zoric (211-84) who scored 18 points and 5 rebounds. American forward Cleveland Melvin (203-91, college: De Paul) chipped in 18 points. Cibona's coach allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. American forward Jordan Morgan (203-91, college: Michigan) produced a double-double by scoring 26 points and 12 rebounds (on 9-of-10 shooting from the field) and Gregor Hrovat (196-94) added 17 points and 6 rebounds (was perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line !!!) respectively for the guests. Five Cibona and four Olimpija players scored in double figures. Cibona's next round opponent will be Buducnost (#8) in Podgorica where they are favorite. Olimpija will play at home against Crvena Zvezda (#2) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
