Sunday’s meeting in Krasnodar ended with CSKA’s victory in overtime – 96:82. Three minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, the Army team was losing by 10 points.
— Congratulations to the team for this well-deserved victory. I would like to thank everyone who supported us during this difficult and prolonged period of the season. The series without victories put pressure on the coaches, players, club management and also upset the fans. There are a lot of emotions today, I hope this victory will give us some sort of psychological boost.
Our problems in the game remain with us, including the inability to maintain an advantage during the game, but today it is better to talk about the good. We defended well most of the time, we fought every moment and believed in ourselves. By the way, the team did not give up in a single losing match and continued to look for opportunities. Sadly, we’re still learning to play without Casper Ware, and we can’t yet say when he’ll return.
Personally, I’m happy for Nikita Kurbanov. To quote the ending of the famous film, “he’s back”. Let’s continue to work and believe in ourselves. And thank you to the Basket Hall audience, who, as always, created an incredible atmosphere,” Vatoutine told .
CSKA is second in the standings of Group A, Lokomotiv-Kuban is in fourth place.
