A1 LIGA - Croatia
Croatian Cup Final Four, Final, February 19, 2010
|
 KK Zagreb is the Croatian Cup champ again! In the third consecutive year featuring the derby between Cibona and KK Zagreb in the final game, KK Zagreb managed to renew its crown thanks to a 81-74 win on Friday evening in the city of both teams, Zagreb. It is the second cup title for the Yellow team. Luka Zoric led the champs with 24 points and Damir Mulaomerovic contributed 20. Bojan Bogdanovic and Jamont Gordon led Cibona with 17 points apiece, while Marko Tomas added 16 and Luksa Andric had 12. The game started balanced with 8-8, but Mulaomerovic hit a three for Zagreb to put an end to the first quarter, 24-21. However, a 2-11 run by Cibona in the second quarter, allowed them to reach the halftime break leading by 36-40 with Tomas as the protagonist at this point. Zagreb reacted after the break but two straight threes by Gordon still allowed Cibona to hold a one-point lead after 30 minutes, 55-56. The fisrt six minutes of the last period stayed balanced but Mulaomerovic always scored in key points as he made it 67-63 when the end of the game approached. With one minute to go in the game, Zagreb dominated by 76-72 but two Dalibor Bagaric free throws made it 76-74. A Mulaomerovic new basket allowed Zagreb to re-gain the four-point lead, and when Gordon missed a three on the other side, Cibona fouled allowing a new KK Zagreb free throw to fall in, 79-74. In subsequent plays, both Gordon and Bogdanovic missed three-pointers allowing KK Zagreb to emerge victorious. MORE |

Croatian League, Season 2009-10
|
|
| The Croatian League returns with a similar look to recent seasons and the same teams expected to challenge for glory. Defending champion Cibona, finalist Zadar and cup runner-up Zagreb are joined by Cedevita as Croatia’s four Adriatic League representatives. That foursome will join the league for the second phase after the Adriatic League season. Until then, 10 teams will play an 18-game regular season with the top four advancing to a second phase with the Adriatic League sides. Cibona remains the team to beat with Antonio Graves, Jamont Gordon and Marko Tomas arriving to play alongside Luksa Andric, Marin Rozic and Vedran Vukusic. Zadar promises to be strong after keeping its core from last year of Rok Stipcevic, Hrvoje Peric, Vladimer Boisa and Tomislav Ruzic and adding Micah Downs and Trent Plaisted. Zagreb will be led by Ante Tomic, who returns with Krunoslav Simon, Andre Stimac and newcomer Pankracije Barac. Meanwhile Cedevita will have a new look after adding Damjan Rudez, Andrija Zizic, Jermaine Anderson, Barisa Krasic and Ivan Opacak among others. Split, with Mario Delas, Zoran Vrkic and Marko Batina, starts as the favorite to finish atop the first stage, though Svjetlost and Trogir will be waiting in the wings. |
