Regular Season Round 27: Rapid - Pitesti 82-77

Date: April 2, 2026
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams when 4th placed Pitesti (16-9) lost to fifth ranked Rapid (15-10) in Bucuresti 77-82 on Thursday. The hosts trailed by 6 points at the halftime before their 46-35 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Rapid made 22-of-26 free shots (84.6 percent) during the game. It was an exceptional evening for Serbian center Nikola Jevtovic (209-1989, agency: 011 Sports) who led the winners and scored 26 points and 9 rebounds. American point guard Roman Penn (182-1997, college: Drake) accounted for 9 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals for the winning side. American forward Dimitrius Underwood (193-1998, college: Charleston, agency: Octagon Europe) came up with a double-double by scoring 20 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists and the other American import guard Marcus Thornton (193-1993, college: William & Mary) added 18 points and 6 assists respectively for Pitesti in the defeat. Pitesti's coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Rapid have an impressive series of seven victories in a row. They maintain fifth place with 15-10 record. Loser Pitesti keeps the fourth position with nine games lost. Rapid will meet Ploiesti CSM (#13) on the road in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Pitesti will play against Craiova (#7) and hope to secure a win.
