it was Krka, Union Olimpija followed it on Tuesday and a day later the
third club was known Partizan m:ts. The three clubs mentioned already
guaranteed a spot at the 10th NLB League Final Four Tournament, which
will be held in Ljubljana between April 19th and 21st, while the fourth
member will be either Zagreb Co or Budućnost, depends how both of them
will play in the last two rounds of the regular season. After the 24th
round, played on Tuesday and Wednesday, Zagreb has a slight advantage.
With the celebration against Budućnost on the road it is one victory
ahead of its direct opponent for the F4 but plays Nymburk and Crvena
zvezda in the next few days. Nymburk too will meet also Budućnost,
which will first have to skip Cibona on Saturday to keep its hopes
