Super Mario kept Unix in the top five!

Maybe the Zalgiris to believe it for three ten minutes, but the Unix Kazan with fantastic Hezonia, made the “explosion” at the end and got a great victory (66-53) in her house!

The 20 points of the fantastic Croatian were enough to raise the Russians to 10-6 and remain in the top five, while the Lithuanians continue to be at the bottom of the standings, with the disappointing 3-13.

The match



The truth is how both teams started with an incredible failure in the first ten minutes, with the score remaining at impressively low levels. Unix went to +4 (6-2), but Zalgiris managed to turn it around immediately (6-9). The mistakes continued and 13-12 just confirmed the quality of the game.

The tragic percentages in the attack continued, which proved that this is probably how the whole match will go. Mayo with a three-pointer gave air to the Russians +4 again (20-16), but the Lithuanians responded (20-21). With two baskets by Hezonia, the hosts went to the locker room with +3 (26-23).

With Klanietis and Brazevic, Zalgiris went ahead (26-28), with Hezonia getting “forward” and with 11 points in a few minutes to open the gap in +7 (42-35) for Unix! The guests took advantage of the aggressive freezing of their opponents and reached the point at the end of the third quarter. (42-41)!

In the end and without anyone expecting it based on what had preceded, the Russians stood out with their performance, with their Lorenzo Brown and Mario Hezonia to continue their violin, for the final 66-53!
