Regular Season Round 29: Craiova - Rapid 97-93

Date: April 14, 2026
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams when sixth ranked Craiova (16-11) defeated at home 5th ranked Rapid (16-11) 97-93 on Tuesday. The hosts trailed by 9 points after first quarter, but they rallied back and won the game by 4 points. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Craiova made 10 blocks. American point guard Sam Sessoms (182-1999, college: Coppin St.) stepped up and scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists for the winners and his fellow American import guard Ishmael Leggett (190, college: Pittsburgh) chipped in 16 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Serbian center Nikola Jevtovic (209-1989, agency: 011 Sports) responded with 22 points and 9 rebounds and Canadian guard Isiah Osborne (198-1996, college: Carleton, agency: One Motive Sports) scored 21 points. Four Craiova and five Rapid players scored in double figures. Rapid's coach Milan Skobalj rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Craiova moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Pitesti and Rapid. Craiova will meet Ploiesti CSM (#13) on the road in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Rapid will play against Timisoara (#7) and hope to secure a win.
