Zenit took a win against CSKA

The continuation of the championship after the break for our team was bright as CSKA came to visit in St. Petersburg. In the lineup of the red and blues, there was a newcomer, Canadian guard Olivier Hanlan, who had been the top scorer in the Italian championship. However, he was not yet ready for this match - with Casper Ware's injury, it was a serious loss for the opponents.

Nevertheless, Zenit did not think about the composition of the opponents, relying solely on its own game. As always, under Xavi Pascual's leadership, the team put defense at the forefront, and this bore fruit - our team quickly gained a minimal advantage, which it increased throughout the match and ultimately managed to win - 81:71.
