KK Kozuv recorded its second win of the season in the Balkan League. The Gevgelija team hosted KB Bashkimi in Gevgelija and took 90-74 victory. The home side did very good in the second quarter when it managed to pull away and after the break controlled the match. 

 

With that result Kozuv now has 2 wins and 6 defeats and still has chances for the Final Four.

After ten close minutes Kozuv led by just 3 points but everything changed in the second quarter. In the first six minutes of it the hosts made a 22-5 run which gave them 20-point lead and it remained in that range until the break.

 

Kozuv kept the big difference for a long time but the third period finished on an 8-2 for the visitors who closed the gap to 12 points. They however couldn′t do more in the fourth quarter as the home side controlled the game and held on for the win.
