The reason why Cedevita ZG lost the game, is their unproductive last 4 min, against Partizan BG. It simply intrigued me to break down the end of this very exciting game. What is interesteing Cedevita ZG, controled controlable for 36 min and then suddenly stopped to execute their game plan.
Partizan BG showed competitivnes, composure and they made better decisions, when game is on the line.
Here is the most critical part of the game:18sec to go, with 1 up and defensive possesion, what would you do, foul or not to faul?
Cedevita defended entire possesion and let Partizan to score an easy basket and got lead by one.
But don't be mistaken, in case that you faul, there isn't guaranty that you're going to win, more than that, you must aready have strategy when you face similar situations. Once momentum come, you must be able to size it. See here, both advanced stats and video breakdown;
Cedevita ZG - Partizan BG
76 : 77
When it come to 4 winning factors, Partizan mad it beter in 3 of them, you can easy jump in conclusion that even if you have only better shot, it's not enough to win the game. More of that, you must better control the ball, generate more second chances and draw more fouls to win.
