Regular Season Round 4: Balkan - Rilski 81-70

Date: October 28, 2023
Very expected game when 8th ranked Rilski (1-3) lost to fourth ranked Balkan (3-1) in Botevgrad 70-81 on Saturday. Balkan looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. The winners were led by swingman Martin Sotirov (200, agency: PEPI SPORT) who scored that evening 19 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists and Estonian Karl-Johan Lips (205-1996) supported him with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Balkan's coach Petar Zlatanovic used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even 25 points by the former international Chavdar Kostov (196-1988, agency: BIG) did not help to save the game for Rilski. American Joe Lawson (200, college: Indianapolis) added 21 points and 7 rebounds for lost side. Defending champion moved-up to second place, which they share with 3 other teams. Rilski lost third consecutive game. They keep the eighth position with three games lost. They share it with 3 other teams. Balkan will meet Spartak Pleven (#3) on the road in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Rilski will play against Beroe (#6) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
