Uralmash Yekaterinburg defender Stanley Whittaker explained what the team was missing in the VTB United League regular season match against Zenit St. Petersburg.
The meeting took place on Monday in Yekaterinburg and ended with a score of 78:72 in favor of the guests.
“We played well, the fight continued until the end, but in the last two minutes of the match we gave Zenit several offensive rebounds, and then second chance points, which they took advantage of.
We need to be better on the boards despite the size difference, getting the ball under the rim after the opponent’s misses and trying to get more possessions. It became a deciding factor today,” Championship quotes Whittaker.
Zenit, with six wins in eight matches, is in third place in the United League standings, Uralmash (3 wins in 8 matches) is in eighth position.
