THE TAKE

Cibona hosts Prokom Trefl Sopot on Wednesday night in Zagreb, Croatia in a Group B encounter that could be a last chance for the visitors to repeat as Top 16 qualifiers Every win is crucial in this tight group where every team can still reach the Top 16. Prokom (2-6) has dropped five in a row, including a 59-81 rout at the hands of Maccabi before the holiday break. Cibona (4-4) has yet to lose at home this season, where it has held opponents to an average of 59.7 points per game. Prokom cruised to an 80-64 home win when these teams met in November behind Tomas Masiulis's 10 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Prokom's once-intimidating defense has had its problems recently, however, allowing over 80 points in each of its last three games. That came after a four-game stretch where no opponent scored more than 72. However Cibona is a low-scoring side (66.1 ppg.), whose highest-scoring game was only 77 points. Nonetheless, its defense works well, and it has been victorious in games where it has scored as few as 67 points. Point guard and Week 7 MVP Scoonie Penn (15.3 ppg., 2.7 spg.) is the catalyst of the Cibon attack, along with forwards Damir Markota (10.3 ppg.) and Bennett Davison (10.1 ppg., 6 rpg.). Markota has been outstanding despite coming off the bench. He will need to play strong against a deep and strong Prokom frontline that includes the team's star, Goran Jagodnik (15.5 ppg., 7 rpg., 2.3 spg.), Adam Wojcik (11.8 ppg.) Masiulis (6.1 ppg., 5.3 rpg.) and center Michael Andersen (7.7 ppg.). Prokom has lacked consistent backcourt scoring, with playmaker Tomas Pacesas a defensive specialist and Christian Dalmau (9.6 ppg.) and Istvan Nemeth (8.7 ppg.) suffering from up and downs. Cibona, on the contrary, has enjoyed more consistent play from guard Davor Kus (9.2 ppg.), and while reserve guard Marino Bazdaric hasn't been a factor on offense since returning from injury, he has proven to be a potent scorer throughout his career. Even though Prokom has been the Euroleague's worst free throw shooting team thus far (62.4 percent), teams have not taken full advantage as the Polish champs also draw the fewest fouls of any team (18.5). This game pits Cibona's backcourt against Prokom's frontcourt. However there are several players that can change that equation. A big game from Markota versus the veteran Jagodnik or solid play by Pacesas and Nemeth against Penn and Kus could be the keys of the game for the respective teams.

Cibona took a solid step toward bettering its Top 16 options when it defeated Prokom Trefl Sopot at home by 71-61 in Group C on Wednesday. The game was really close throughout the first 3 quarters as the scoreboard showed a 51-51 after 30 minutes. However, Davor Kus stepped up with valuable points for the winners in the last period, helping forge a solid lead that could not be overcome by Prokom. The win lifts Cibona to a 5-4 record in Group C good for fourth place, while Prokom drops to 2-7 and will have to step on the gas to be in the Top 16 for the second straight season. Kus led Cibona with his 14 points while making 3 of 4 triples. Bennett Davison added 12 and 10 rebounds, Scoonie Penn and Mate Skelin 11 points apiece for the winners. For Prokom, only Istvan Nemeth scored in double digits with his 15 points. David Andersen nailed 9 points before fouling out at a moment in which he was directing Prokom's reaction at the start of the final quarter.

A free throw by Adam Wojcik inaugurated the score and later a good jumper for a 2-3 score after Luksa Andric's basket for Cibona. Damir Rancic tied the game with a bomb from downtown, 5-5, as Cibona tightened its defense allowing for a steal and a basket by Andric that lifted the count to 7-5. Istvan Nemeth however, made it easy for Prokom with his triple as the scoring rhythm of the teams increased slightly to a 9-10 when Bennett Davison nailed a jumper. Both teams combined for an overall 2 of 11 triples and that allowed many rebounds for each side at the same time as Jeff Nordgaard posted two free throws for Prokom and a 10-12 score. Good defense by Cibona forced an 8-second violation of Christian Dalmau and the play rounded out with Damir Markota's three to tie the game again, 14-14. The last points of the period arrived in the form of 4 free throws, two for Nordgaard and two for Marin Rozic for 16-16.

Scoonie Penn and Nemeth traded triples to start the second quarter but Ali Bouziane's unsportsmanlike foul was not used properly by Cibona who saw how Prokom quickly pulled within 22-21 after another Nemeth basket. Cibona's defense pressed on its own side of the court and Prokom committed a violation on the shot clock, as Mate Skelin followed it with a basket plus free throw for 27-21. Tomas Pacesas gave new life to Prokom with two triples in a 0-12 run that put the guests ahead once more, 29-33. Skelin finally replied for Cibona with a three-point play, and Davor Kus and Markota kept Cibona going to pull within 36-37 after three quarters.

Jagodnik appeared for Prokom at the start of the second half but Penn replied with an acrobatic spin in the air to maintain the pace. Davison slammed to tie the game again but Davor Marcelic and right after that Kus posted triples to launch the hosts to a 46-40 lead. Jgodnik stopped the bleeding with a triple of his own and Prokom seemed to find its place in defense again to start forcing Cibona turnovers. However, in three straight plays that included a Rancic triple, Cibona managed to open a 7-point gap again, 51-44. The trend of the game continued as it was Prokom's turn now to forge a scoring run, most of it thanks to David Andersen, as the score tightened to 51-51 one more time to close the third period.

The last period started with a slow-scoring pace as after 4 minutes, Cibona was leading by 3 after a new Kus triple, 56-53. In fact, Kus was the main protagonist of a new Cibona burst as he posted 5 more points with a new triple that allowed the hosts to pull to 62-54 forcing Prokom's new timeout. Dalmau and Nemeth combined after that to push Prokom to a 66-59 Cibona edge, but Davison rebounded a missed triple by Marcelic for 68-59 and 90 seconds to go. Dalmau went for a fast Prokom basket but Penn replied with free throws. Prokom tried it from downtown but missed all attempts nad Cibona just had to let the seconds tick away to take a new home win.

"I congratulate my players on this win, although we played the worst home game in the Euroleague this season. That makes me happy and gives me hope because we can't play this bad against Maccabi next week. Our biggest problems was control of the paint: we didn't rebound well on defense. But, the good news is that Prokom didn't know how to punish our mistakes. After this game we are closer to the Top 16 but I am sure that we will need two more victories. Six? No, only with seven victories we are sure for the Top 16."
KIJEWSKI, EUGENIUSZ
Prokom Trefl Sopot
"This was a hard and good game for three quarters. Both teams played good defense and when Cibona hit three key shots in the last quarter that decided the game. Kus broke us."

Players

KUS, DAVOR
Cibona VIP
"They are a very, very expirienced team and we knew that. So our main goal was to start aggressive and we played at a high rhythm all 40 minutes. We play very good defense in our hall, where our opponents score 60 points per game. But we have problems on offense and I beleive that this will be better in the future."
NEMETH, ISTVAN
Prokom Trefl Sopot
"Yes, we lost six games in the row, but all six in the last five minutes. It's like we don't have enough strength. Nobody could hit important shot and that's way we lost tonight. Cibona played very good, much better than the last time we played against them."
