Superb second quarter lifts TFT over Kumanovo 2009

KK TFT recorded its second straight win in Delasport Balkan League. The Skopje team hosted KK Kumanovo 2009 and managed to take a convincing 83-54 victory. It was mainly thanks to a great second quarter when the hosts pulled away and never looked back after. They will also be happy that they won by more points that they lost in the first game between the team which will give them an advantage. Next week TFT will have to visit Ibar in Rozaje while Kumanovo will host Teodo on December 9th.

It was an even first quarter with the hosts leading by just 3 but in the second everything changed. They started it with a 12-0 run which put them up by 15 and the difference grew even more after. It soon went over 20 points and at the break it reached 24 which meant that TFT had a great advantage before the second half.

In the second half the hosts didn't have to do anything special but to control the margin. They managed to do just that increasing it in the third quarter by 5 points and keeping it in the final ten minutes.

The hosts hit 13 triples in this game which compared to just 5 by the visitors were more than enough for a big win.

TFT were led by Lachlan Anderson who finished as top scorer with 30 points. Landrius Horton made his BIBL debut by scoring 19 points as Tyron Harris had 18 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds.

Aleksandar Andreejevic was the only players in the game finishing with a double-double after recording 15 points and 11 rebounds. Damjan Robev and Jovan Crnic were the other two players in double figures for Kumanovo with 13 points apiece.
