Regular Season Round 22: Balkan - Akademik P. 86-85

Date: February 16, 2024
Very expected game when 9th ranked Akademik (8-14) was edged by fourth ranked Balkan (13-9) in Botevgrad 86-85 on Friday. However just one-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The former international Dimitar Dimitrov (203-1993) notched 13 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists to lead the effort and swingman Martin Sotirov (200-1999, agency: PEPI SPORT) supported him with 25 points. Even a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds by American Justin McCall (197-1999, college: CSUB) did not help to save the game for Akademik. His fellow American import point guard Nelly Cummings (183-1998, college: Pittsburgh) added 16 points and 5 assists for lost side. Four Balkan and five Akademik players scored in double figures. Balkan have an impressive five-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains fourth position with 13-9 record, which they share with CSKA. Loser Akademik P. dropped to the eighth place with 14 games lost.
