Balkan League

Regular Season Round 4: Peja - Akademik Bultex 87-98

Date: November 21, 2019
Very significant was Bulgarian Academik Plovdiv's (#1) 98-87 road victory against their biggest opponent Kosovan Peja. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Peja. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Academik Plovdiv players were unselfish on offense dishing 23 assists. The winners were led by American point guard Shakir Smith (185-92, college: Adams St.) who had that evening a triple-double by scoring 31 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists (made all of his nine free throws !!!) and Vasil Bachev (195-92, college: Cuesta JC) supported him with 23 points and 9 rebounds. Four Academik Plovdiv players scored in double figures. Even a double-double of 29 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals by Croatian forward Henrik Sirko (198-93, agency: XL Basketball Agency) did not help to save the game for Peja. Forward Drilon Hajrizi (203-91) added 25 points and 10 rebounds for lost side. Peja's coach rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Academik Plovdiv have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 3-0 record. Peja at the other side keeps the second place with one game lost. They share the position with Ibar Rozaje. Academik Plovdiv will play against Vllaznia (#4) in Shkodra in the next round. Peja will play on the road against the league's second-placed Ibar Rozaje and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
