NBL top team - Balkan (7-1) had no problems winning another game on Saturday. This time they crushed eleventh ranked Shumen (0-8) in Botevgrad 102-67. Balkan outrebounded Shumen 45-24 including a 36-19 advantage in defensive rebounds.

Four Balkan players scored in double figures. Balkan's coach Vasil Hristov felt very confident that he used 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was guard Kostadin Lazarov (193-2000, agency: BIG) with 27 points and 5 assists and scored 13 points. Balkan have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain first place with 7-1 record. Shumen at the other side still closes the standings with eight games lost. Balkan are looking forward to face Beroe (#8) in Stara Zagora in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Shumen will play at home against Minyor 2015 and hopes to get finally their first victory.
