Regular Season Round 24: Prievidza - Nitra 85-98

Date: January 19, 2013
The game in Prievidza was also quite interesting. Third ranked Nitra (14-8) played at the court of 5th ranked Prievidza (10-11). Nitra defeated Prievidza 98-85 on Saturday. The game was mostly controlled by Nitra. Prievidza managed to win fourth quarter 23-22. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They made 19-of-21 free shots (90.5 percent) during the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Nitra made 7 blocks. The winners were led by the former international center Branislav Tomek (205-83) who scored that evening 16 points and 9 rebounds (perfect from the field making all six shots) and Slovenian guard Maj Kovacevic (190-90) supported him with 23 points. Even 31 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists by American forward Joseph Harris (196-87, college: Co.Carolina) did not help to save the game for Prievidza. His fellow American import center Justin Manns (210-89, college: Kent St.) added 15 points and 6 rebounds (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field). Five Nitra and four Prievidza players scored in double figures. Nitra maintains third position with 14-8 record having just one points less than leader Komarno. Defending champion Prievidza keeps the fifth place with 11 games lost. Nitra will meet SKP Banska Bystrica (#7) on the road in the next round. Prievidza will have a break next round.
