Batumi outrebounded Energy Invest 45-33 including 17 on the offensive glass. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international Akaki Dvalishvili (206-91) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 20 points and 18 rebounds. Ukrainian forward Leonid Stefanishin (199-85) contributed with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. American center Kiel Turpin (213-89, college: Florida St., agency: Three Eye Sports) answered with a double-double by scoring 21 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) and Serbian forward Nikola Gacesa (206-87, college: TCU) added 12 points and 11 rebounds in the effort for Energy Invest. Five Energy Invest players scored in double figures. Batumi have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain first place with 17-8 record. Energy Invest at the other side keeps the fifth position with 13 games lost. They share it with Mgzavrebi.
