Regular Season Round 9: Spartak Pleven - Balkan 60-77
Date: December 10, 2011
The game in Pleven was also worth to mention about. Sixth ranked Balkan (3-6) played at the court of 8th ranked Spartak Pleven (1-8). Balkan did not have too big problems and got a relatively easy victory 77-60. The game was mostly controlled by Balkan. Spartak Pleven was better in fourth quarter 20-17. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Balkan dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Spartak Pleven's 28. They outrebounded Spartak Pleven 37-20 including a 27-15 advantage in defensive rebounds. It was a good game for American center Josh Crawford (211-88, college: Indiana St.) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 10 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Dimitar Filipov (185-89) contributed with 13 points and 4 assists for the winners. Four Balkan players scored in double figures. Balkan's coach allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. Guard Aleksandar Dyakovski (185-82) answered with 14 points and forward Simeon Tsenov (196-82) added 13 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Spartak Pleven. Balkan maintains sixth place with 3-6 record. Spartak Pleven lost their sixth game in a row. They stay at the bottom position with eight games lost. They share it with Chernomorets. Balkan will play against league's second-placed Levski Sofia at home in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Spartak Pleven will play against Chernomorets (#7) in Burgas and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
