The Croats move to a 3-2 record in Group B with this win. Nolan Smith led Zagreb with 16 points.
“We controlled the game during 40 all minutes and we had the opportunity to finish the game three or four times, but Elan came back systematically,” Cedevita coach Jasmin Repesa said.
“So I’m happy because I know that Elan Chalon didn’t have all its players such as Brockman and Joseph. I think they’re going to be stronger when these players come back.”
