KB Peja is the winner of group B in SIGAL UNIQA Balkan League. The Yellows finished the First Stage with 7 wins and 3 defeats after downing SK Tirana 96-72 at home. That means that even if Feni wins its match against Karpos Sokoli can′t reach the first position. Tirana on the other side finished its first season in the competition with 3 wins and 7 defeats but surely will take a lot of positives from its participation.

 

Peja started slowly and led by only 4 after ten minutes. In the second period things changed and the hosts stepped up a gear. With a 15-4 run to open it the difference reached 15 points and it remained in that area until the break. Peja continued to play better in the third quarter as the advantage reached over 20 points to leave the last quarter just a mere formality.

 

The home side′s biggest advantages came from the 3-point shooting and the turnovers. Peja hit 12 triples from 33 attempts while Tirana had 6 of 17. The home side also had only 10 turnover compared to 22 for the visitors which led to a 24-10 point advantage.

 

Jamie Billie had his best game since joining Peja to finish with 23 points and 8 rebounds. Mirza Ahmetbasic scored 16 points while Alban Veseli added 11.

 

Endrit Hysenagolli finished with another double-double for Tirana with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Gerti Shima scored 16 points as Red Vogli had 8.
