Second Stage Round 1: Puntamika - Cibona 86-63

Date: March 19, 2011
Everything could happen in Zadar at the game between two tied teams. Both leader Borik Puntamika and bottom-ranked Cibona had identical 0-0 record. This time Borik Puntamika used a home court advantage and smashed the opponent from Zagreb 86-63 on Saturday night. It was a key game for the top position in Group A. The game without a history. Borik Puntamika led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. Cibona was plagued by 28 personal fouls down the stretch. Quite impressive performance for Marijan Cakarun (-90) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 16 points and 15 rebounds. The former international forward Jurica Ruzic (199-77) contributed with 14 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Five Borik Puntamika players scored in double figures. Borik Puntamika's coach Neven Plantak felt very confident that he used entire bench and allowed the starting five to get some rest. The former international power forward Tomislav Zubcic (214-90, agency: Beo Basket) answered with 19 points and 8 rebounds and international swingman Bojan Bogdanovic (202-89) added 14 points in the effort for Cibona. Despite that victory Borik Puntamika went down to first position (Group A) due to points difference, which they share with 3 other teams. Defending champion Cibona still closes the standings with one game lost. Borik Puntamika will face league's second-placed Cedevita in Zagreb in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Cibona will play at home against Zadar (#8) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
