19 BC Mures 2 Surprises Stiinta Bucuresti for the 9th Win of the Season

BC Mures 2 played against Stiinta Bucuresti tonight and came away with both points after a highly contested game. Final score 68-65.

Stiinta started with a 9-0 run, but the hosts never gave up and came back with a run of their own in the second quarter to lead at half time 39-32. The third quarter started well for the visitors, who scored 14 points in a row, without allowing a single basket. George Trif's team closed the ranks and answered with a 14-0 run of their own, and after a tied third quarter, still held a 7 point margin.

The fourth quarter brought a physical game from both teams, where fighting had become the name of the game. Coach Eugen Ilie received a technical foul, followed by Cristian Craciun, and Urucatu was handed an unsportsmanlike foul by the referees. Although the visitors managed to win the last quarter, they couldn't complete the comeback.

With this win BC Mures 2 cement their 3rd place in the standings, with one game left of the regular season. Only Dinamo and Stiinta, two contenders for moving up to the National League precede the young squad coached by George Trif.

Scorers:
BC Mures: Engi 20 (3), Boloni 13 (1), Oprea 11, Rasty 7 (1), Tibirna 6, Barabasi 6 (1), Jakab 5 (1).
Stiinta:  Craciun 21 (1), Sandu 20, Olaru 10 (2), Zarojanu 6,  Urucatu 5 (1), Corneanu 3.

For the last game of the regular season BC Mures will travel to Craiova, while Stiinta will host Rapid.
