Date: February 27, 2015

Serbian guard Pedja Stamenkovic (190-88, agency: 011 Sports) chipped in 11 points and 6 assists. Five Balkan players scored in double figures. Balkan's coach Aleksandar Todorov felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Guard Milen Zahariev (190-92) produced 8 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists and forward Veselin Georgiev (192-86) added 8 points respectively for lost side. Balkan have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain second place with 13-4 record having just three points less than leader Lukoil Acad.
