Regular Season Round 12: Shumen - Balkan 90-96

Date: December 17, 2023
Very expected game when 9th ranked Shumen (4-8) was defeated at home by fourth ranked Balkan (7-5) 96-90 on Sunday. Balkan forced 19 Shumen turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Mikey Dixon (188-1996, college: Idaho) who helped to win the game recording 23 points and international Dimitar Dimitrov (203-1993) who added 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. Balkan's coach Petar Zlatanovic used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was American forward Wilfried Likayi (206-1999, college: Coastal) with 28 points and 7 rebounds and his fellow American import guard Brian Cameron (190-1997, college: Wesley) scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Defending champion moved-up to third place, which they share with Spartak Pleven and Rilski. Loser Shumen keeps the ninth position with eight games lost. They share it with Cherno More and Yambol. Balkan will meet at home Levski (#7) in the next round. Shumen will play against Beroe in Stara Zagora and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
