Regular Season Round 5: Kumanovo - Levski Sofia 87-80
Date: November 14, 2012
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of undefeated Bulgarian Levski Sofia (2-1) on the court of third ranked FYR Macedonian Kumanovo 2009 on Wednesday night. Visitors were defeated by Kumanovo 2009 87-80. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Levski Sofia. It was a key game for the second position in Group A. The hosts trailed by 3 points after three quarters before their 29-19 charge, which allowed them to win the game. 28 personal fouls committed by Levski Sofia helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Swingman Ivica Dimcevski (194-89, agency: Interperformances) stepped up and scored 29 points and 7 rebounds for the winners and Serbian center Uros Lukovic (212-89) chipped in 16 points and 13 rebounds. Four Kumanovo 2009 players scored in double figures. Power forward Stefan Georgiev (206-78) responded with 20 points and 9 rebounds and Chavdar Kostov (195-88, agency: Interperformances) scored 25 points. Levski Sofia's coach Konstantin Papazov rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Kumanovo 2009 (3-1) moved-up to second place in Group A. Levski Sofia at the other side dropped to the third position with one game lost. Kumanovo 2009 is looking forward to face bottom-ranked Mornar Bar (#5) on the road in the next round. Levski Sofia will play against Djuro Djakovic in Slavonski Brod and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
