Big win for Kozuv over the champions

KK Kozuv recorded a big and very important win in group A. The Gevgelija team visited KB Sigal Prishtina and played a great game to take 92-65 victory. With it the Macedonians increased their chances of reaching the Second Stage. Now they have two games at home - against Kumanovo and Sigal Prishtina, and if they win them there′s a very big chance they′ll be in.

As for the champions now the task is really really tough. First Sigal needs to defeat Bashkimi by at least 12 points on Monday and then win against Kozuv in Gevgelija. In the same time the team has to hope that Bashkimi will lose to Teodo in the last week and Kozuv against Kumanovo the week before. 

Kozuv scored the first basket of the game but then Sigal hti the next 9 points. That didn′t do any bad for the visitors however who made a 13-0 run to create a good advantage. After that the visitors kept playing well and build a 10-point lead at the end of the period. In the second one Kozuv was holding on to the advantage but the home side came closer. Still the champions couldn′t tie the score but it was important for themthay they cut the deficit as the difference at the break was just 4 points.

The home side scored the first basket after the break but Kozuv followed with 6-0 to go up by 8. Just after the middle of the third period the visitors hit again and with 9-0 run went up by 16 points. Before it finished Sigal cut some of the deficit but in the early minutes of the fourth one everything was over. With four played Kozuv increased the advantage to 20 and after that the final six minutes were just a formality.

Playing his last game for Kozuv Aleksandar Yanev was the top scorer with 21 points while also adding 4 assits. Milivoje Mijovic did very well with double-double of 20 points and 13 rebounds and Bojan Krstevski brought some energy finishing with 18 and 7.

Drilon Hajrizi and Jabarie Hinds were the top scorer for the home side with 16 points each. Grant Johnson added 12 but generally Sigal didn′t play well enough and didn′t have any chance to take the win.
