Regular Season Round 5: Pitesti - Miercurea Ciuc 88-67
Date: October 27, 2012
Rather expected game when bottom-ranked Miercurea Ciuc (0-6) was smashed on the road by thirteenth ranked Pitesti (3-3) 88-67 on Saturday. The game was mostly controlled by Pitesti. Miercurea Ciuc was better in fourth quarter 20-19. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Pitesti dominated down low during the game scoring 62 of its points in the paint compared to Miercurea Ciuc's 42. Pitesti forced 21 Miercurea Ciuc turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 28 assists comparing to just 11 passes made by Miercurea Ciuc's players. American-New Zealand forward Marcel Jones (203-85, college: Oregon St.) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 20 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals. Serbian guard Slobodan Popovic (198-80, agency: BeoExcell) contributed with 16 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. Pitesti's coach Tudor Costescu felt very confident that he used 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Croatian forward Franko Filipovic (203-87) answered with 23 points and American forward Zach Henifin (195-88, college: W.Washington) added 7 points and 11 rebounds in the effort for Miercurea Ciuc. Pitesti moved-up to eleventh place. Loser Miercurea Ciuc still closes the standings with six games lost. Pitesti will face higher ranked Timisoara (#6) on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Miercurea Ciuc will play against CS Dinamo Bucuresti (#14) and hopes to get finally their first victory.
