General Director of the VTB United League Ilona Korstin said that CSKA found courage in the second half of the match and were able to turn the tide of the encounter with Lokomotiv-Kuban.
On Monday, CSKA won the home match of the second stage of the VTB United League championship against Lokomotiv-Kuban (86:73). Before the big break, the army team was 8 points behind the opponent. The hosts won the third quarter with a score of 32:16.
— CSKA dominated the second half of the match. After a long break, they came out very motivated and gave their all. We saw fire in the eyes of the CSKA players, I think it was this surge of emotion that helped turn the tide of the match with Lokomotiv. The Army team took courage, managed to make a breakthrough of 25-8 and thanks to this, they were finally able to win at Megasport.
For Emil Raikovich, this victory was an anniversary, his hundredth in the VTB League. But Lokomotiv now lacks a little stability: after all, they played the second half of the match less successfully than the beginning of the match. Every win is now extremely important, as teams fight for the top positions in the group, which gives them an advantage in the playoffs,” Korstin told .
