Regular Season Round 10: KK Zagreb - Krka 85-80

Date: December 3, 2011
No shocking result in a game when eighth ranked Croatian KK Zagreb CO (5-5) beat at home 12th ranked Slovenian Krka (2-8) 85-80 on Saturday. However just five-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The hosts trailed by 2 points at the halftime before their 39-32 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. KK Zagreb CO made 19-of-21 free shots (90.5 percent) during the game. Quite impressive performance for American power forward Sean May (203-84, college: N.Carolina) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 23 points and 13 rebounds (made all of his nine free throws !!!). Forward Krunoslav Simon (197-85) contributed with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. Power forward Smiljan Pavic (210-80) replied with 19 points and 5 rebounds (perfect from the field making all eight shots !!!) and swingman Zoran Dragic (196-89) added 16 points and 6 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) in the effort for Krka. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Krka's coach Nenad Trajkovic let to play ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Defending Croatian champion moved-up to seventh place, which they share with Siroki WWin. Defending Slovenian champion Krka dropped to the eleventh position with eight games lost. KK Zagreb CO will face league's leader Maccabi T-A in Tel-Aviv in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Krka will play at home against Helios (#12) in Domzale and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
