In the opening game of the regional league Round 2, Cedevita Olimpija have prevailed over Split on the road in Gripe with a convincing performance.
It has really been a game, in which the Dragons of Ljubljana have been in front for the majority of the playing time, led almost throughout the game and deservedly got away with the second win in two games, despite playing without Lovro Gnjidić and Zoran Dragić, which are currently sidelined.
Cedevita Olimpija have been a dominant force during this game and since the very starting tip-off, they have been gradually improving their position. They led by 4 points after the opening quarter and slowly, but surely, managed to pull away from the hosts in the second period. By the 19th minute, their lead was 14 points (35:49) and at this point, it became clear that a comeback by the home side would be very difficult to achieve. The Dragons continued to cruise towards the win in the end
In the green and orange squad, Yogi Ferrell led the way in scoring with 21 points on his record. Josh Adams added 17 and Amar Alibegović added 12.
Next test is coming up for the Ljubljana squad on Wednesday, 20:00, when they will face Frutti Extra of Bursaspor at home in Stožice Arena in the 7DAYS EuroCup.
