Astana played an away game in Krasnoyarsk, where they lost to Enisey
The first quarter was marked by a very intense and competitive struggle, resulting in the Kazakh club winning the stretch with a minimum advantage of one point. However, Enisey won a significant win in the second quarter with a 20-point difference.
Despite the tied third period and the final quarter, which Astana confidently won, the team from Kazakhstan was unable to reduce the gap — the match ended with a score of 77:76 in favor of the hosts.
The leaders of the capital team in this game were Markell Johnson (17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists), Igor Kanygin (10 points), and Rustam Murzagaliyev (9 points, 7 assists). Mike Myers, who had recovered from an injury, could play for the first time in a long time.
«I congratulate my players on the victory. Unfortunately, we had a lot of problems before this game. On Friday, Supreme Hannah had a fever, and just before the game, for the same reason, we lost Angelo Warner. However, considering all the circumstances, I am pleased with the victory. Of course, we could have played better, but the most important thing for us is the result,» - said the home team's head coach, Drazen Anzulovic, after the game.
