Levski defeated Rilski Sportist in the BIBL derby of the round in Bulgaria. The 2010 EUROHOLD Balkan Leagua champs won against the ones from 2009 by 15 points - 78:63, as that was their 16th win in 20 games.   Rilski surprisingly for many led at the half - 33:36, but after halftime they struggled, due to their short bench, and Levski deservedly took the win in the end by 78:63. Rosen Barchovski, Rilski′s head coach couldn′t rely on Dimitar Karadjovski and Bogdan Boev for the game.   Priest Lauderdale had his average double-double - 19 points and 11 rebounds. Jason Crowe added a good all-around performance - 14 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Three other players scored 9 points each.   Ivan Lilov scored 17 points for Rilski, while Vladimir Mijovic added another double-double so far in the season - 12 points and 14 rebounds.   Rilski are currently fourth with a balance of 9-11.
