Regular Season Round 23: Craiova - Timisoara 85-78

Date: March 17, 2025
Everything went according to plan when eighth ranked Craiova (13-9) defeated at home 10th ranked Timisoara (10-13) 85-78 on Monday. The hosts trailed by 3 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 8-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 85-78. Craiova looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. It was an exceptional evening for Serbian center Dimitrije Nikolic (211-1997, agency: Tolakh Tsimur) who led the winners and scored 23 points and 7 rebounds. American DeVante Brooks (198, college: S.Arkansas, agency: Players Group) accounted for 10 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists for the winning side. Four Craiova players scored in double figures. American center Mike Edwards (206-1997, college: Georgia) came up with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 12 rebounds and Serbian-Austrian guard Bogic Vujosevic (190-1992) added 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists respectively for Timisoara in the defeat. Timisoara's coach Dragan Petricevic rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. The victory was the sixth consecutive win for Craiova. They moved-up to seventh place. Loser Timisoara keeps the tenth position with 13 games lost. Craiova will meet league's second-placed Valcea in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Timisoara will play against Galati (#14) and hope to secure a win.
