The best athlete of Bulgaria for 2023 - Alexander Vezenkov, recorded a total of 13 minutes and 58 seconds, making 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, in the defeat of his club Sacramento Kings by Boston Celtics with 100:101 ( 15:27 35:27 22:30 28:17) in an NBA regular season game.
The meeting was of great importance for the "kings" about their ranking, as shortly before the end of the season they fell out of the top 6 and are currently in eighth place in the Western Conference, a position that does not allow them to directly qualify for the 1/8 finals of the playoffs. Now the new defeat, which was the second in a row, has leveled their balance with the ninth-ranked LA Lakers, with whom they already have 44 wins and 33 losses. However, the sixth place is still not an unattainable goal, as the New Orleans Pelicans team has settled there for the moment, which has only a win more, but also a game less.
