Gytas Sirutavicius (10.5 PPG) and local players such as Flavius Lapuste and Liviu Dumitru also have to be kept an eye on.   On the other side, in the first games, the usual suspects have been the best for Balkan .The well-known duo - Yordan Bozov (12.0 points/8.0 rebounds/ 8.0 asssists) and Georgi Davidov (15.5 points/7.0 rebounds) have been the team leaders so far. Americans Joshua Gonner (15.0 points) and Dwayne Morton (11.5 points/7.5 rebounds) have been playing good, along with local guys like Lyubomir Lilov.   BC Mures are scoring 88.0 points over their two games so far, and Balkan are having 71.0 points per game. However the team from Botevgrad has a slight advantage in the rebounds (31.5 against 30.0), while Mures are leading in the assists (15.5 against 15.0).   The game from Group B of the 2010/2011 EUROHOLD Balkan League is scheduled for 19.00, tomorrow (24.11.2010) and will be broadcasted live on http://sportmedia.tv.
