By the game-ending run

My congratulations to the opponents – they played good game. Spartak is a difficult opponent for us, especially when they use two power forwards as bigs. As for us, our President Andrei Vatutin said the best words: “Everything looks good for us for too long.” We weren’t aggressive enough, we made mistakes defending one on one, after switches, we did not fight for rebounds well enough. For all the game we were running away, then losing our advantage, running away again, losing everything again… We defended too correct. Look at Spartak – they maybe fouled by they fought. As for us we were like ballet dancers, letting the opponents to go everywhere they wanted. We did not guard Dragicevic and Zupan well, despite the fact that they did not have their best post-up player Mavrokefalides. It is great that we were able to collect ourselves and win in the end.
