Defeat in the traditionally tough road game in Zadar

Cedevita Olimpija is leaving Zadar empty-handed. On Sunday, the squad, led from the bench by head coach Jurica Golemac, has suffered a defeat by Zadar in the 21st round of the AdmiralBet ABA League with the final score of 81:59

Cedevita Olimpija is leaving the court in Zadar’s Krešimir Ćosić Arena heads down. The Dragons of Ljubljana have suffered a 81:59 loss against the home side in the 21st round of the AdmiralBet ABA League season. Despite all, the squad, led from the bench by head coach Jurica Golemac can secure their spot in the Playoffs already on Monday, in case Split suffers a defeat by SC Derby.

The motivated home squad has been in command of the game since the beginning and until the end. Each time, the Dragons managed to take the game into an even contest, the hosts have punched back. When the advantage of the home side in the second half of the third quarter crossed the 20-point margin, the game’s outcome was clear, since the Dragons, despite all the effort did not manage to get close to the Dalmatian side anymore and endanger the win by Zadar.

Josh Adams led the way in scoring for Cedevita Olimpija with 17 points on his record, while Yogi Ferrell added 16.

The season of Cedevita Olimpija goes on on Wednesday, 19.30, when the Dragons will face Ratiopharm Ulm. In the AdmiralBet ABA League, the next game is coming up on Saturday, when they will host Cibona in Tivoli Sports Hall at 19.00.
