Balkan shot the lights out from three nailing 16 long-distance shots on high 64.0 percentage. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 30 assists. They brought some defensive toughness making 8 blocks. It was a good game for American forward Mikael Hopkins (206-93, college: Georgetown) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 20 points, 14 rebounds and 6 blocks (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field). American-Nigerien swingman Tanksley Efianayi (198-94, college: Cent.Florida) contributed with a double-double by scoring 19 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) for the winners.

Five Balkan and four Academic Sofia players scored in double figures. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Balkan maintains fourth position with 7-4 record. Academic Sofia lost seventh consecutive game. They dropped to the seventh place with eight games lost. Balkan's next round opponent will be league's leader Levski Lukoil in Sofia and it may be the game of the week. Academic Sofia will play at home against the league's second-placed Beroe (#2) and hope to win that game.
