CSU Cuadripol win the BIBL derby in the Romanian League again

In the second domestic encounter this season of the two Romanian BIBL participants once again CSU Cuadripol Brasov prevailed over hosts Dinamo Bucharest - 73-85. In the first BIBL derby of the Romanian Division A back on the 1st of November in Brasov CSU Cuadripol only nicked the victory by a single point (92-91), but now, although on the road, they were much more convincing versus the same opponent.
 
The game was closer in the opening minutes, with the visitors from Brasov holding just a 1-point advantage after the first quarter - 20-21. But then they stepped up and took control of the game, leading 34-39 at half-time. They made their lead more comfortable in the third 10-minute frame and were in front by 11 points after that one - 47-58. Then in the closing munites CSU Cuadripol loosened up their defence a bit and allowed Dinamo to score more. But the Brasov team kept on scoring big too and had no problem closing out the game with a 12-point margin.
 
The American guards were the most productive scorers for both teams in the game. For the winning side LeRoy Dawson netted 18 points on a 7-10 shooting from the floor (4/6 three-pointers), while Rashaun Broadus added 12 points and 4 assists. Big center Ionut Dragusin had yet another double double - 10 points and 10 boards. Chris Reaves led the scorers for Dinamo, equalling Dawson`s game high of 18, and he also grabbed 6 rebounds and dished out 4 assists; fellow American player, power forward Demetrius Williams had 10 rebounds, but only managed to score 5 points.
 
CSU Cuadripol Brasov are temporarily up to 3rd in the Romanian Division A standings at 13-5, having played one game more than CSU Atlassib Sibiu. The loss was the 11th one for Dinamo in their domestic league and it keeps them down in 12th place with 6 wins, just ahead of BC Targoviste, who have 5.
 
Dinamo have just one more game to play in Group B of the Eurohold Balkan League this season - next week in Bucharest versus Bulgarian team Levski - but it`s only academic, as the Romanian team is already out of the reckoning for a place in next round. In Group A CSU Cuadripol still have a chance, but they need to defeat Euroins Cherno More in a head-to-head battle for the quarterfinal slot on Wednesday at home in Brasov.
