Second Stage Round 1: TFT - Tikvesh 80-74

Date: April 11, 2026
Very expected game when Tikvesh lost to TFT in Skopje 74-80 on Saturday. However just six-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Strangely Tikvesh outrebounded TFT 52-31 including a 20-4 advantage in offensive rebounds. Georgi Zafirov (194-1997, agency: BIG) nailed 20 points and 6 rebounds for the winning side and American forward Justin Gordon (198-1993, college: Wofford) accounted for 17 points. Gordon is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. TFT's coach Boro Smilkovski allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. American point guard Javaunte Hawkins (180-2000, college: FIU) came up with 20 points and 5 rebounds and the other American import guard Quinton Mincey (201, college: UMass Lowell) added 15 points and 7 rebounds respectively for Tikvesh in the defeat. Four Tikvesh players scored in double figures. TFT's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Skopje MZT Skopje.
