“Lokomotiv-Kuban “in a victorious match with UNICS proved once again that this is a team that never gives up, Devon Akun-Purcell, Andrey Martyuk and Zakhar Vedishchev showed themselves to be real leaders, the general director of the VTB United League told Ilona Korstin .
The regular championship meeting of the United League took place in Krasnodar and ended with a victory for the home team with a score of 82:75 (12:21, 14:25, 26:16, 30: 13).
— It is important to note that today the finalists of the last season of the VTB United League gathered. And it’s not for nothing that we named this match the match of the week. I think all basketball fans were looking forward to it and watching this matchup with interest. UNICS played confidently almost the entire match, but in the end Lokomotiv showed character and clawed back 22 points (the biggest comeback of the season), catching up and overtaking the defending champion.
Interestingly, before the game, we gave the November MVP award to Acuna-Purcell. And in this match, he confirmed his status, becoming the most productive on his team. I think that Lokomotiv-Kuban also returned thanks to the successful actions of Martyuk, who acted effectively in attack and defense. Andrey defended himself very well against Reynolds, who did not play his basketball: Martyuk did not allow him to do so.
Zakhar Vedishchev also scored several important three-point baskets that excited the railway workers. And all this confirmed Lokomotiv’s status as a team that never gives up. The match really turned out to be very interesting and unpredictable, because at one point it seemed that everything was already clear here, but it was not, ”Korstin told .
Lokomotiv-Kuban won its sixth consecutive victory and occupies 4th place in the ranking. UNICS is located one line above.
