Cherno More is done with the losing streak

Cherno More put an end to their three-game losing streak after the pause in the championship, because of the games for the Bulgarian Cup. For the first time since the 5th of March, Varna had a good game and won against Yambol with 108-105 after overtime.
 
The Sailors had a 14-point lead after 30 minutes of play (79-65), but at this moment they thought that the game was over. A strong final run from Yambol, who are fighting for the seventh place in A-1, helped them take the last 10 minutes with 14 points of difference and put the game in OT.
 
In the added 5 minutes, the silver medalists from the Cup of Bulgaria from two weeks ago in Samokov didn't let a surprise to happen and won their 14th win this season.
 
Todd Galloway had his best game for Cherno More with a rating of 32 after scoring 30 points, and added 4 rebounds, assists and steals. Those stats were enough for him to win the MVP of the 31st round of A-1.
 
His American teammate Bryce Sheldon scored 20 points (4 threes) and Simeon Tsenov and Augustinas Vitas both had 18.
 
For Yambol Pavel Marinov was shining. The youngster had a career-high 24 points (3 threes) and he also had 6 rebounds and 3 steals for a rating of 29. Stanislav Govedarov is continuing to play good this season, as the guard had 31 points, 7 asssists, but he also had 9 turnovers.
 
This win didn't change Cherno More's ranking, and they stay still on the 6th spot, right behind CSKA and Spartak Pleven, who have 15 wins each. In the next round Cherno More is playing CSKA in Sofia, and an eventual win could move them up to 4th or 5th place in the ranking, but the big question is will the team from Varna go after a victory and a better ranking, or will remain still and go for Balkan in the 1/4 finals.
 
Yambol stays 8th, but still has a chance of not playing Lukoil Academic on the 1/4 finals. For this, Yambol must win against Levski at home, and Rilski should lose against Spartak Pleven in Samokov.
