Well well…. ti seems as if two major players of the VTB League were in a cahoots when it comes to their latest victories.
And that’s because Unics Kazan and Zenit St. Petersburg both defeated their respective opponents with a…. 89 – 73 score. Yep, identical situations.
The team from Kazan, reacted after the upsetting Euroleague defeat by Barcelona and Parma could not match their strength. The trio of Keith Langford (23 points), Artsiom Parakhouski (21 points, 12 rebounds) and Cotty Clarke (22 points, 11 rebounds) was way too powerful as their team maintained its perfect (4-0) record in the league.
By outscoring Kalev 41 – 29 in the second half, Zenit (2-0 record now) made its life much easier than it was during the first twenty minutes of game. Janis Timma paced the winners with 19 while Sergey Karasev and Pavel Sergeev added 14.
