"We started off kind of slow in the first half trying to find our rhythm on offence and the second half we picked it up on defence and it led to offence," White commented after the game.
"It was a great win against a good team with a lot of young players. I wouldn't say we took them lightly but they came out and they played hard and gave us a game today."
Scottie Reynolds led Cibona with 19, and Nik Slavica added 16 but it wouldn't be enough for the Croatian side.
