Regular Season Round 11: Akademik P. - Balkan 75-73

Date: December 9, 2023
Very important is a road loss of third ranked Balkan (6-5) against twelfth ranked Akademik (3-8) on Saturday night. Visiting Balkan was edged by Akademik in a tough game in Plovdiv 73-75. Strangely Balkan outrebounded Akademik 44-31 including 31 on the defensive glass. It was an exceptional evening for American Justin McCall (197-1999, college: CSUB) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 11 rebounds. His fellow American import point guard Nelly Cummings (183-1998, college: Pittsburgh) accounted for 14 points and 5 assists for the winning side. Cummings is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Four Akademik P. players scored in double figures. International Dimitar Dimitrov (203-1993) came up with 20 points and 9 rebounds and American point guard Devin Harris (182-1992, college: OKWU) added 9 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists respectively for Balkan in the defeat. Balkan's coach Petar Zlatanovic tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Akademik moved-up to eleventh place, which they share with Cherno More. Balkan lost third consecutive game. Defending champion keeps the third position with five games lost. They share it with Spartak Pleven and Rilski. Akademik will play against higher ranked Spartak Pleven (#4) at home in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Balkan will play against Shumen and hopes to get back on the winning track.
