The Final Destination

It is done! KK Zadar has arrived at the summit! With a brutal two-game sweep, the champions have obliterated Dubrovnik, securing their ticket to the Croatian basketball grand finale. The question now hanging in the air like smoke after a pyrotechnic display: who stands in their way? That battle is still raging between KK Cibona and Split, locked in a make-or-break decider.

Power and Precision

The narrative was written in the first chapter on Višnjik, where Zadar posted a staggering 83-57 victory. But legends demand consistency. In the second clash at Gospino Polje, the hosts tried to fight back, leading by 10 after the first quarter (25-15) and extending it to 13 (40-27) in the second. Dubrovnik, fueled by desperation, clawed back to trail by just one point (53-54) late in the third. But destiny has a heavy hand. In the final quarter, quality separated the contenders from the pretenders. Zadar pulled away to 76-62 and cruised to an 81-68 win.

Stars of the Show

Who carried the weight? Marko Ramljak was the engine, pouring in 23 points and grabbing six rebounds. Karlo Žganec added 12 points and eight boards, while Vladimir Mihailović orchestrated the offense with 11 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. For Dubrovnik, Petar Dubelj (18 points) and Marko Lončović (17 points) fought valiantly but fell short. Zadar now waits. Their final opponent will be crowned when Cibona and Split complete their trilogy.
