Date: November 14, 2018
The game between closely ranked teams ended with second-ranked Finnish Joensuun Kataja's (3-2) home loss to leader Bulgarian Levski Lukoil (5-0) 95-102 on Wednesday. The guests trailed by 3 points after three quarters before their 30-20 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Levski Lukoil outrebounded Joensuun Kataja 45-29 including 16 on the offensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists. Joensuun Kataja was plagued by 25 personal fouls down the stretch. Swingman Hristo Zahariev (199-90) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 12 rebounds for the winners and power forward Dejan Ivanov (205-86, agency: BeoBasket) chipped in 21 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Five Levski Lukoil players scored in double figures. American point guard Vincent Simpson (185-88, college: Hampton, agency: Inception Sports) responded with 20 points and 4 assists and Canadian power forward Ryan Wright (206-87, college: Oklahoma) scored 19 points. Joensuun Kataja's coach tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Levski Lukoil have an impressive series of five victories in a row. Defending Bulgarian champion maintains first place in Group G with 5-0 record. Loser Joensuun Kataja keeps the second position with two games lost. Levski Lukoil will face Aris (#3) in Thessaloniki in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Joensuun Kataja will play on the road against Dnipro and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
