Regular Season Round 20: Akademik P. - Balkan 70-74

Date: February 13, 2023
Not a big story in a game in Plovdiv where 9th ranked Akademik P. (6-14) was defeated by second ranked Balkan (16-4) 74-70 on Monday. Balkan made 16-of-20 free shots (80.0 percent) during the game. They also forced 23 Akademik P. turnovers. The best player for the winners was Chilean-Spanish center Manny Suarez (208-1993, college: Creighton) who had a double-double by scoring 19 points and 10 rebounds. The former international Pavlin Ivanov (195-1993, agency: Octagon Europe) chipped in 16 points and 6 assists. American guard Jaylen Minnett (185-1999, college: Missouri St.) produced 22 points and his fellow American import center Tyler Creammer (208-1997, college: VMI) added 6 points and 9 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Balkan have an impressive five-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains second position with 16-4 record having just three points less than leader Rilski. Akademik P. lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the ninth place with 14 games lost. Balkan will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Akademik P. will play again against the league's second-placed Balkan (#2) and hope to secure a win.
