Forward Iliyan Pishtikov (192-2004) helped adding 24 points. Four Balkan 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 have a solid series of three victories in a row. Defending champion maintains second place with 14-4 record having five points less than leader Rilski. Shumen lost fifth consecutive game. They stay at the bottom position with 15 games lost.
