Regular Season Round 2: Ploiesti - Targu Mures 79-85 OT
Date: October 14, 2012
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of undefeated Ploiesti (1-1) at the home court on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by tenth ranked Targu Mures (1-1) in overtime 85-79. Ploiesti was tied after three quarters and then recorded another tie at the end of regular time. They were eventually defeated in overtime 5-11s. They outrebounded Ploiesti 45-32 including 33 on the defensive glass. 27 personal fouls committed by Ploiesti helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Serbian center Darko Balaban (211-89, agency: Beo Basket) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 19 rebounds. Montenegrin guard Branko Cuic (197-78) contributed with 16 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. The former international center Catalin Burlacu (210-77, agency: Court Side) replied with 10 points and 8 rebounds and Serbian power forward Vladimir Tica (208-81, agency: BeoExcell) added 13 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Ploiesti. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Targu Mures left bottom position moving up to seventh place, which they share with 3 other teams including defeated Ploiesti. Targu Mures is looking forward to face league's second-placed Gaz Metan in Medias in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Ploiesti will play on the road against CSM Bucuresti (#8) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
