Zabok are fifth with a 14–13 record (41 points), and in the previous round they lost at home to Šibenka 84–78, extending their negative streak to three consecutive defeats.

“Zabok is a team that possesses offensive talent and plays good basketball. Our goal is to play a solid game. Controlling their drive-and-kick game is important, as well as defending the pick-and-roll. We invite all Cibona fans to come to Sutinska Vrela and support us”, said Cibona head coach Ivan Rudež.

“We are expecting a demanding game against a quality opponent who is well coached. It’s an experienced team that knows how to play basketball. We have prepared well and trained well, and if we follow everything we agreed on and play with the same aggression as in the last few games, we should earn new points”, said Cibona player Borna Katanović.

The game will be played tomorrow at Sutinska Vrela at 5 P.M., with a live broadcast on Sportska televizija.
