Regular Season Round 1: Timisoara - Galati 85-81

Date: September 22, 2023
There was no surprise when Galati was defeated on the road by Timisoara 85-81 on Friday. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Galati was tied after three quarters but could not keep up in the last quarter eventually losing the game. Timisoara looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Serbian center Igor Kesar (210-1992, agency: Mansfield and Associates) stepped up and scored 22 points and 7 rebounds (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) for the winners and Serbian-Bosnian point guard Nikola Gajic (195-1991, college: SF Austin) chipped in 11 points and 11 rebounds. Four Timisoara players scored in double figures. At the losing side American guard Marlon Ruffin (196-1999, college: Humboldt St., agency: VM Hoops Agency) responded with 23 points and 6 rebounds and the former international forward Marius Ciotlaus (195, agency: BIG) produced a double-double by scoring 11 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Timisoara will meet at home Brasov in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Galati will play against Targu Jiu in Rovinari and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
