Beating Asseco Gdynia by fourteen points, 74:60, in the semifinal game of Kasztelan Basketball Cup 2013, Anwil Wloclawek opened a door to the clutch game on Sunday. Rottweilers will play against Bnei Herzliyya - the Israeli team that won over Anwil on Friday's scrimmage.
The hosts opened the game easily with some perimeter shots that let them reach a margin of nine (14:5) at the beginning of the first quarter. Unfortunately, the tight rotation needed to be narrow even more because Danilo Mijatovic sprained his finger.
Nevertheless, everything was under control in Dusan Katnic's hands. Serbian playmaker scored 14 points in the first half and Anwil Wloclawek was leading 35:30. The margin should have been greater but the hosts lost focus in the last phase of the second quarter and let A.J. Watson make some easy shots.
Asseco Gdynia was trying to cut the whole Anwil's lead but when they decrease it to two or four, the players from Wloclawek were able to find a solution how to cut inside Asseco's defense. Seid Hajric and Michal Sokolowski shouldered the burden just after the break, being active in both ends of the court.
However, it was above-mentioned Katnic who stole that semifinal for Rottweilers. Serbian scored 24 points and sent 9 assists, conducting Milija Bogicevic's orchestra as a typical leader should.
The victory means that Anwil will play in the tournament final on Sunday. The hosts will face Bnei Herzliyya, the Israeli team that won over them on Friday's scrimmage before Kasztelan Basketball Cup. Asseco Gdynia will play against Slask Wroclaw for the third position.
