Domestic leagues: Balkan went down in Pleven

Balkan finished their week with another loss. After being defeated by BC Mures in the BIBL earlier this week, Petar Klechkov′s squad, still having a lot of injury issues went down 95:93 in Pleven against local side Spartak.   Georgi Davidov (28) and Stanimir Marinov (26) combined for a total of 54 points, but obviously that wasn′t enough for Balkan. Emil Binev was the last player to score in double digits, having 11 points in the end.   Iliya Stankov led Spartak with 21 points, Todor Todorov added 19 and 12 rebounds and Nikola Traykov finished the game with 18 points.
