The first winter game between two leaders of Ukrainian Basketball League started very intensive.

 

Any team had no great advantage in the first quarter. The defense of «Kryvbasbasket-Lux» was rather intense and «Mavpy» felt not very free and comfortable in offence. Dragoljovic and Pupovic made less effective throws than they make usually. As a result, the quarter was lost 19:24.

During the second quarter both teams were equal. In the middle of the this quarter, visitors didn’t see any result attacks – the defense of the both teams run good. Koljevic helped his team to finish the second quarter with completely equal score.

 

The score after the third quarter 59:58 became possible for guests because of Kuburovic fouls and effective free throw shots of Korablev.

 

The last quarter will be remembered with Dragoljovic tense game, which, in 5 minutes had to finish the game because of extra fouls. During the last series of tactics fouls, guests came out winners with the score 74:79. 

 

The main coach of «Cherkaski Mavpy» Jovica Arsic:

 

«We lost this game, because the opponent’s game was better today. Also we had «big» problems with fouls, while attitude to Korablev was like he is Michael Jordan».  

 

The player of « Cherkaski Mavpy » Feliks Kojadinovic: 

 

«Now, our team has to revise the game with «Budivelnyk» and then we will get all anwers. Today’s defeat – is our common fault».  

 

The main coach of « Kryvbasbasket-Lux» Zvezdan Mytrovic: 

 

«In order to analyze this game, it’s necessary to revise the video. We used the opponent’s mistakes. Havel’s and  Korablev’s attack helped to realize not easy throws at the end of the game, and «Mavpy» made mistakes in the important moment».
