The 2012–13 Baltic Basketball League was the 9th season of the Baltic Basketball League.

The Challenge Cup tournament was discontinued and the new format featured 23 teams – 9 from Lithuania, 8 from Estonia, 5 from Latvia and 1 from Kazakhstan. For the Regular season the teams were divided into three groups of six and one group of five.[1] Top four teams of each group advanced to Last 16 where they were divided into four groups. Two best teams of each group advanced to the play-offs. All play-off games were played in home-and-away series.[2]

Ventspils became the first ever Latvian team to win the tournament by beating Lithuanian side Prienai 161–142 on aggregate score in the finals.[3] Kalev/Cramo from Estonia won their first Baltic League medal by downing Latvian side Barons kvartāls 144–137 in the bronze medal playoffs.

gollark: `textutils.serialiseJSON` exists in CC:T now, fortunately.

gollark: Yes, the async stuff is kind of irritating to reason about and potatOS has a good coroutine manager.

gollark: You can use th enot async version too.

gollark: Oh, hmm, this is quite big and requires my entire non-erroring JSON serializer.
