Cibona opened the 2008-09 Euroleague in resounding fashion by downing last season’s runner-up Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv 81-79 in Group A on Thursday. It was a special game for Cibona, which paid homage to world basketball icon, the late Drazen Petrovic, in the arena named after him on the night after what would have been his 44th birthday.

Davor Kus led the winners with 23 points and Rawle Marshall added 20 while Nikola Prkacin had 14 before fouling out for Cibona.
 
D'Or Fischer led Maccabi with 26 points on 11-for-12 shooting. Lior Eliyahu added 14 and Carlos Arroyo had 10 for the guests, despite struggling from the field (2 for 13).
 
Three-pointers by Kus, Marin Rozic and Marshall helped Cibona take a 20-17 edge after 10 minutes, but Yaniv Green and Fischer stepped up for Maccabi, which tied the game at halftime 36-36.
 
Cibona found its go-to guys in Prkacin and Marshall after the break to build a 54-45 lead late in the third. Maccabi threatened and cut the gap to 3, but Kus took over in the final minutes with a reverse layup, free throws and a key three-pointer that sealed the outcome in the final two minutes.
