GAME REPORT:
Cedevita Olimpija were the ones that were in front for the majority of the game in Dalmatia. They have been up by 1 point at halftime (34:35) and by 5 after 3 quarters, after DeVante Jones scored a buzzer-beating three-pointer. However, Split remained close for a long time and with 2 minutes and a half to go, the Dragons were ahead by only 3 points (63:66). That’s when DJ Stewart and Brynton Lemar combined 4 points to put their team ahead by 7 points (63:70) with a minute and 40 seconds to go in the game. As it turned out, Split did not really manage to make it anybody’s game anymore until the end and these were the key moments of the clash.
For Cedevita Olimpija, DJ Stewart had 14 points, Devin Robinson and Aleksej Nikolić added 12, while Joan Beringer had 11.
