Regular Season Round 8: Shumen - Balkan 54-80

Date: December 18, 2021
Bottom-ranked Shumen (0-8) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 80-54 loss to fifth ranked Balkan (5-3) in Shumen on Saturday evening. They also forced 21 Shumen turnovers. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Kahlil Dukes (183-95, college: Niagara) who helped to win the game recording 14 points and 6 assists and Nikolay Grozev (200-94) who added 13 points during the contest. Serbian center Dejan Bjelic (209-90) responded with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 20 rebounds and guard Aleksandar Milov (198-95) scored 13 points. 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 moved-up to fourth place. Newly promoted Shumen still closes the standings with eight games lost. Balkan will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Shumen will play against Cherno More (#9) in Varna and hopes to get finally their first victory.
