“Zenit” suffered his first home defeat under the VTB United League against UNICS Kazan despite 27 points of Janis Timma, who made 6 3-points shots.
The first half ended with almost equal score – 45:46. After a long break Kazan played effectively and realized even attack 0.9 seconds before the end of the quarter, and before the final quarter the score was 59:68.
Perhaps this moment broke down the team of Vasily Karasev, but at the start of the fourth quarter “Zenit” was not similar to itself. The blue-white-blues allowed the opponent to make a breakthrough 11:0. Only after a timeout Sergeev made a shot. At their stands “Zenit” has managed to gather a fight to his opponent in the end of the game. However, to delay 20 points diffrence in 6 minutes could only be a miracle, but in the day it has not happened on the court of “Yubileiny”. UNICS won 95:84.
