NBL top team - Balkan (10-1) managed to deliver another win. This time they beat ninth ranked Akademik (3-8) in Plovdiv 106-95. Balkan shot the lights out from three nailing 18 long-distance shots on high 54.5 percentage. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 26 assists. The winners were led by American point guard Jack Pagenkopf (191-1997, college: Utah Tech) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 13 points, 15 assists and 4 steals and the other American import center Demond Robinson (206-2000, college: KSU) supported him with 21 points and 5 rebounds. Even 28 points and 7 rebounds by American forward Jacquez Yow (198-1999, college: Limestone) did not help to save the game for Akademik. The former international Vasil Bachev (195-1992, college: Cuesta JC) added 31 points and 4 assists. Five Balkan and four Akademik players scored in double figures. Balkan have an impressive eight-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 10-1 record. Akademik at the other side keeps the ninth place with eight games lost.
