Cibona Dominates in Convincing Victory Over KK Zagreb

KK Cibona Zagreb delivered an impressive performance on Sunday evening, securing a convincing 87-72 victory over city rivals KK Zagreb at Dom Sportova. The win showcased the team's depth and improved chemistry.

From the opening tip-off, Cibona controlled the tempo of the game. Point guard Luka Bozic orchestrated the offense beautifully, finishing with 18 points and 9 assists. His leadership on the court was evident as he consistently found open teammates and made smart decisions.

"We came out with great energy and focus," said Bozic after the game. "Everyone was locked in and we executed our game plan perfectly. This is the kind of performance we need to build on."

Marko Simonovic was on fire from beyond the arc, connecting on 5 of 8 three-point attempts and finishing with 22 points. His shooting opened up the floor for the rest of the team and created driving lanes for the guards.

In the paint, Ante Zizic was dominant, recording a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds. His presence on both ends of the floor made it difficult for Zagreb to establish any rhythm inside.

The defensive effort was equally impressive, with Cibona forcing 15 turnovers and holding Zagreb to just 38% shooting from the field. The team's communication and help defense were particularly noteworthy.

Head coach praised the team's effort: "This was a complete team performance. Everyone contributed, and we played with great intensity on both ends. We need to maintain this level of play going forward."

The victory improves Cibona's record and provides momentum heading into the next series of games. The team will look to build on this performance as they continue their season campaign.
