What a reversal that was! THE Unix Kazan can be found on the “canvas” in the first half, losing even with 18 points, however in the second half he played excellent basketball on both sides of the floor and with their fronts Mario Hezonia and Lorenzo Brown reached victory 85-71 against Alba Berlin!
Very good and soulful performance from the team of Velimir Perasovic, which reached the three consecutive victories, climbing to the eighth place with a record of 6-5. Mario Hezonia is magical with me 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, but also Brown who added 21 points and 9 assists. In fact, the first got 28 points in the evaluation system while the second 31!
On the other hand, for the Germans who fell to 16th place with a record of 3-8, the Koumatzi with 12 points and an equal number of rebounds.

After a sluggish start, Unix found some easy shots reducing the difference in the basket (10-12 at 6 ‘). In the last three minutes, however, the Germans, through their tough defense, ran a 10-0 series, completing the first ten minutes. at +13 and 26-13!
With a personal show by Jalin Smith, who scored eight points, Alba shot the difference at +18 for 39-21 at 14 ‘ fully controlling the pace of the fight. Somewhere there, however, the “heavy” names of Unix came forward, with them Hezonia and Brown to lead the counterattacks and with big shots to “gnaw” the difference for the 40-48 of the half.
Velimir Perasovic entered the second half with acquired speed. With a defense of “steel”, but also with easy points in the open field, the Russians kept Alba at zero for five minutes, succeeding in this period 12 unanswered points for overtaking (52-48 in 25 ‘), while a little later they reached +5 for 57-52. Alba gathered somewhere there, found points from the tall ones, closing the third ten minutes in front of the score with minimum value of the difference (59-60).
The derby continued in the first four minutes of the last period, where the Germans were ahead with 66-65. Somewhere there, the … usual suspects took action, with Hezonia and Brown being connected to the opponent’s basket for overtaking and in +9 (75-66, at 37 ‘). With psychology soaring, the Russians raised it difference even at +16 (!), with the final score to be 85-71.
