Injury bad luck has plagued the Puerto Ricans all season. When Kavgič and Cvetičanin returned last Saturday, Portorož played a great game and beat Litija highly. Unfortunately, Kavgic was injured again in the last training session, and captain Cvetičanin fell ill again.

Thus weakened, Portorož resisted the favored Sežana team only in the first quarter, which they also won with a score of 23:22. And that was all they showed.
By halftime, the hosts had managed to turn the score around 53-41, the gap widening by the end of the game and could have been higher if it hadn’t been for the home strategist sending some younger basketball players into the game in the playoffs.
Portorož’s play today was out of all criticism, lackluster on offense and lukewarm on defense, allowing the hosts to make plays, they were especially effective on 3-point shots (they hit 14 threes from 33 attempts), they were usually on their own when they hit shots.
With the defeat, Portorož again approached the Play-Out zone, as Litija defeated Janče at home in the last second of the match and ran away for the win.
The upcoming match on Saturday in Lucija against PVC Nagoda Postojna will be very important for the sailors, as a possible re-failure would lead them into dangerous waters, as the Postojna team has always been a very unfavorable opponent for the sailors, especially since they are led by experienced strategist Peđa Milović.
OTHER RESULTS: TROTI – SLOVAN 84:63, CELJE-BRINOX MEDVODE 59:72, LITIJA-JANČE 66:64, GORICA-ECE TRIGLAV 60:77.
ON SUNDAY, THE MATCH BETWEEN THE PVC EVENT POSTOJNA AND JEŽICA WILL ALSO BE PLAYED.
