Zenit lost to Uralmash in Game 3

Before the third meeting with Uralmash in the playoffs of the United League, our team was leading 2-0. This meant that only one more victory was needed to advance to the semifinals, but it had to be secured in Ekaterinburg — Uralmash's home court.

It proved to be more challenging than in Saint Petersburg. Our team held the lead for most of the game, but in the final quarter, the hosts took over and ultimately we couldn't catch up — 69:72. The next match is the day after tomorrow.
