Cibona is once again the Croatian League champion! Cibona won its second consecutive Croatian League title and its 14th since the competition was created in the 1991-92 season - every edition but 2003 and 2005 - by simply overwhelming Zadar 100-62 in make-or-break Game 5 on Sunday to win the best-of-five finals 3-2. Davor Kus led the winners with 18 points and 6 assists. Chris Warren added 17 points, Andrew Wisniewski and Barisa Krasic each had 13, Brent Wright got 12 and Luksa Andric 11 for Cibona, that mad2 24-of-36 two-pointers and 15-of-26 triples tonight. Juby Johnson had 15 points for Zadar, Frano Colak 14, Todor Gecevski 12 and Carl English 11. Cibona used a 19-0 run early in the game to break it open, 21-4, and then kept a double-digit margin all the way in the first half. Cibona soon boosted its margin to 66-38 late in the third quarter to cruise to a well-deserved win that allowed the club to claim yet another Croatian League title! MORE |

2006-07 CROATIAN LEAGUE PREVIEW
|
| As usual, the Croatian League starts with Cibona as the team to beat, Zadar as its perennial challenger able to beat anyone, anywhere, while Split and Zagreb could step up and provide the upset if they arrive to the decisive games at the top of their form. These four teams will not take part in the first phase, in which 11 teams compete in a round-robin system. The top 4 teams advance to the second phase along with Cibona, Split, Zagreb and Zadar, back from the Adriatic League. The best four teams will advance to the best-of-five semifinals and the winners, to the best-of-five title series. Cibona has put together an impressing roster with depth and talent at every spot. New arrivals feature Brent Wright, Jerry McCullough, Marton Bader or Marijan Mance while Cibona kept Chris Warren, Davor Kus or Luksa Andric. Zadar kept top players Juby Johnson, Todor Gecevski, Jakov Vladovic or Frano Colak, as well as adding guard Carl English. Zagreb landed Gordan Zadravec and top prospect Hrvoje Kovacevic and kept Dwayne Broyles, Krunoslav Simon and Nikola Garma. Meanwhile, Split brought in a marquee player like Otis Hill and a promising guard in Curtis Stinson. Young yet experienced homegrown players like Hrvoje Peric, Franko Kastropil and Mateo Kedzo round an interesting roster. Cedevita, with Damir Milacic, Mate Milisa or Mario Dundovic, could beat anyone in any given day. |
