Zenit interrupts its winning streak in the game against CSKA

Zenit and CSKA approached their face-to-face encounter as the top teams in the championship: CSKA held the first position and had even managed to build a lead in the table, while our team recovered from early-season losses and had already risen to the second spot.

The match turned out to be exactly as expected for a clash between the best teams in the tournament. Zenit was catching up with CSKA throughout almost the entire match, but, with the help of the opponent's mistakes, managed to equalize in the final moments, thanks to Frazier's three-pointer. The game transitioned into overtime, where Zenit had to cope without Vince Hunter, who had to rest due to accumulating five fouls, and the lack of a center proved to be decisive. CSKA emerged victorious with a score of 104:89.
