KK Navico Akademija FMP played a good game against Balkan but a bad third quarter sealed the fate of the team in Botevgrad. Here is what the head coach of the North Macedonian team Aleksandar Petrovikj had to say following the defeat:"I congratulate Balkan for the win. We lost the game in the third quarter. We allowed them to score easy baskets after our mistakes. This game will be a good lesson for us as we have an important one in the local league on Sunday. We have pretty much even stats, and we controlled the rebound. Our mistakes in the third quarter affected the outcome and allowed Balkan to score easy points. We also played without our best player Krstajic who felt pain in his knee. In general Balkan deserved to win."
Billy Ivey was the top scorer for FMP finishing with 21 points. Here is what he had to say:
"We fought. We made some mistakes which we have to clean up. I also missed some shots but I thnik that we fought much more than in our previous games in the Balkan League. We had a chance to win but we missed a lot of shots early in the third quarter and this was the reason for their strong run. They scored a lot of points on fast breaks and it all reflected on the score. I think we have a chance to qualify."
