Regular Season Round 20: Levski - Botev 77-84

Date: February 16, 2026
No shocking result in a game when fifth ranked Botev (10-9) beat 10th ranked Levski (3-15) in Sofia 84-77 on Monday. Botev dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Levski's 26. Botev forced 20 Levski turnovers. The winners were led by point guard Mihail Kalinov (184-2007) who scored that evening 25 points and 7 assists and the former international guard Georgi Gerganov (192-2003) supported him with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals. Four Botev players scored in double figures. Even 25 points by Stoyan Kaynarov (190-2001) did not help to save the game for Levski. American forward Cadarian Raines (205-1990, college: Virginia Tech, agency: BIG) added 12 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists for the hosts. Levski's coach Konstantin Papazov tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Newly promoted Botev maintains fifth position with 10-9 record. Levski at the other side keeps the tenth place with 15 games lost. Botev will meet league's leader Balkan in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Levski will play against Akademik (#9) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
