With the victory over Italian team Benetton (95 : 87) in Treviso, Cibona became winner of the second edition of the Alpe-Adria League. Dražen scored 31 points, with 7 three-pointers, and was subsequently chosen as the Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Journalist Jovan Kosijer noted in the match report:
It is worth saying about Dražen: he showed qualities that are already much talked about, he was a real leader, maximally engaged and determined, a useful passer, but also ready to decide in those moments when his teammates were covered, to get to the basket, ready to take care of the countdown.
