Balkan League
Regular Season Round 5: Levski Sofia - Feni Indistrija 67-66
Date: December 15, 2011
The most exciting game of round 5 in the Balkan League took place in Sofia. This derby game ended with only one-point defeat on the road of 3rd placed FYR Macedonian Feni Indistrija (3-2) to leader Bulgarian Levski Sofia (5-0) 67-66 on Thursday evening. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Feni Indistrija. The hosts trailed by 1 point at the halftime before their 20-17 charge in the third quarter, which allowed them to win the game. They outrebounded Feni Indistrija 42-30 including 30 on the defensive glass. French-Bulgarian power forward Vasil Evtimov (207-77, college: N.Carolina, agency: Interperformances) stepped up and scored 9 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners and American guard Marcus Hall (185-85, college: Colorado) chipped in 20 points. Bulgarian swingman Ivan Lilov (196-88) responded with 21 points and power forward Kiril Nikolovski (210-88) scored 10 points and 9 rebounds. Feni Indistrija's coach Emil Rajkovic tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Levski Sofia have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain first place in Group B with 5-0 record. Defending FYR Macedonian champion Feni Indistrija keeps the third position with two games lost. Levski Sofia are looking forward to face bottom-ranked Zrinjski HT (#6) in Mostar in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Feni Indistrija will play at home against Ulcinj in Ulcijn and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
