Magic Moment: King dunks with aplomb!
Gagic is leading Lietkabelis's frontcourt due to his size, experience and post skills. He is averaging 11.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in less than 21 minutes per night. He has a PIR average of 10.5 in 15 games. Gagic posted 13 points on 5-of-7 two-point shooting, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and a PIR of 17 when he faced Hamburg earlier this season. At age 31, Gagic is right at the prime of his career and must use his know-how against Kotsar, who is six years younger than him. Expect high intensity and a lot of outstanding post moves in this interesting matchup.
