Basketball player CSKA Ivan Ukhov told that despite the tense end to the match with “Lokomotiv-Kuban” he was confident that the Army team would be able to win in regulation time.
On Sunday, CSKA defeated the championship leader Lokomotiv-Kuban with a score of 92:91 in a home match of the VTB United League and broke Krasnodar’s unbeaten streak, which lasted 9 matches.
— You and the railway workers fought a very fierce battle. Did you have the feeling that the match was going to go into overtime?
— The match was tense, and yet there was a feeling, a kind of confidence that we would take the match to victory in regulation time. That there will be no overtime. In general, today there was a “swing”, a fierce fight. Because Lokomotiv really gained great momentum, they remained undefeated. In terms of attack, they are very strong. At one point, things didn’t go well for us. We found free balls, but missed them, and Lokomotiv took advantage and scored on the return attack.
We won today thanks to defense and good decisions. It’s clear that in the end they could have played with much more confidence and better, but they suffered straight defeats and brought things to a tense finale. We are very happy to win such a tense match. “Thank you to the fans for their support,” Ukhov told .
