Date: March 9, 2013
Rather expected game when 6th ranked Timisoara (17-9) was defeated on the road by fourth ranked Ploiesti (19-7) 89-79 on Saturday. The hosts trailed by 2 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 7-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 89-79. Ploiesti outrebounded Timisoara 35-22 including 20 on the defensive glass. Timisoara was plagued by 30 personal fouls down the stretch. The former international center Catalin Burlacu (210-77, agency: Court Side) scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the charge for the winners and Serbian power forward Vladimir Tica (208-81, agency: BeoExcell) chipped in 20 points and 6 rebounds (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) during the contest. Five Ploiesti players scored in double figures. American guard Devan Downey (175-87, college: S.Carolina, agency: Three Eye Sports) responded with 23 points and 5 assists and Bosnian point guard Zlatko Jovanovic (181-84, agency: Beo Basket) scored 23 points and 4 assists. Ploiesti have an impressive six-game winning streak. Defending champion moved-up to second place, which they share with Targu Mures and Craiova. Loser Timisoara keeps the sixth position with nine games lost. Ploiesti will face Craiova (#4) at home in the next round. Timisoara will play against Gaz Metan in Medias and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
