The X factor of tonight’s victory for the guests was Nikola Meli. The experienced Italian center made five three-pointers and played his best game this season with 16 points. After the game, he said:
“We were better offensively – we didn’t have the best performance defensively, but we hit shots and that got us the win. We are happy, we came to win – we lost the first game. Every game is like the Euroleague final, two wins and you’re out of the play-offs, two wins and you’re on top. We are very happy, it is very difficult to win here, against a very good team.” – said Nikola Melija.
