Second Stage Round 4: Tikvesh - Kozuv 90-97

Date: April 25, 2026
The game in Kavadarci was also quite interesting. Fifth ranked Kozuv (13-13) played at the court of 6th ranked Tikvesh (11-15). Kozuv managed to secure a 7-point victory 97-90 on Saturday. Kozuv outrebounded Tikvesh 39-26 including 30 on the defensive glass. Kozuv looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. The winners were led by American Brian Bowen II (203-1998, college: Louisville, agency: 6th Man Basketball Agency) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 31 points and 17 rebounds (on 13-of-15 shooting from the field) and the other American import Rodney Purvis (193-1994, college: UConn) supported him with 23 points and 5 assists. Kozuv's coach Ljupcho Malinkov used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even a double-double of 18 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists by American guard Quinton Mincey (201, college: UMass Lowell) did not help to save the game for Tikvesh. The former international Petar Boshaleski (197-2004) added 21 points and 5 rebounds for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Kozuv maintains fifth position with 13-13 record, which they share with Cair 2030. Tikvesh lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with 15 games lost. They share the position with Rabotnicki. Kozuv will meet at home league's second-placed TFT in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Tikvesh will play against Pelister (#3) in Bitola and hope to secure a win.
