Zenit lost to CSKA in the clutch minutes
October 8, 2023
On Sunday in the VTB United League, Zenit and CSKA faced off. The opponents approached this match with two wins in the first two games, while Zenit had a record of 1/1. It was important for our team to redeem themselves after the opening season loss against Uralmash.
The game started evenly, but towards the end of the first quarter, CSKA managed to gain a slight advantage. In the second 10 minutes, the guests only strengthened it, and the beginning of the third quarter put our team in an uncomfortable position. However, Thomas Heurtel, who paced up just in time, helped Zenit narrow the gap to only 2 points in the Q4.
Unfortunately, our team couldn't pull ahead in the final moments, and CSKA won - 80:76.
