Date: December 28, 2025
Leader Balkan delivered the twelfth victory. This time they crushed 5th ranked Spartak Pleven (6-6) 103-75 in Botevgrad. Balkan made 16-of-21 charity shots (76.2 percent) during the game. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 22 assists. American point guard Jack Pagenkopf (191-1997, college: Utah Tech) orchestrated the victory by scoring 15 points, 7 assists and 5 steals. International point guard Konstantin Toshkov (186-2002, agency: BIG) contributed with 18 points and 4 assists (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) for the winners. Five Balkan players scored in double figures. American point guard Jalan McCloud (180-1995, college: ETSU, agency: Helping Ballers) replied with 21 points and 5 assists and the former international guard Martin Rusev (193-2004) added 7 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the effort for Spartak Pleven. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Balkan (12-1) have an impressive ten-game winning streak. They maintain first position. Spartak Pleven lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the sixth place with six games lost. Balkan will play against league's second-placed Rilski in Samokov in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Spartak Pleven will play at home against Minyor 2015 (#5) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
