“Lokomotiv” takes the lead in quarterfinal series against UNICS

Red-greens won in the third match of the quarterfinal series of the VTB United League with UNICS (83:71) and led in the series with a score of 2:1.

Despite the most important character of the match from the point of view of the development of the series, the teams in the first half did not close and played effectively. Matt Jenning from “Lokomotiv” had returned to the court, which significantly increased the attacking potential of Krasnodar and predetermined the success of the guests on the basis of two quarters. Jenning with 18 points was the most productive among the red-greens, and a series of his hits closer to a big break allowed “Loko” to create an 8-point reserve (46:38). In the third quarter UNICS seized the initiative.

By the middle of the fourth 10-minutes “Lokomotive” kept UNICS at the usual distance of 5-7 points. Here there was an important leap of Krasnodar, which inspired by Jan Vougioukas, who scored 15 points in this meeting. The Greek center first scored from under the ring, then covered Joaquin Colom, and in the next possession made the perfect assist to Ryan Brockhoff – “Loko” got a double-digit advantage.
