Astana played another away match in the VTB United League.
This time, Samara, for whom this season of the League became a debut, acted as our opponent. The game ended in favor of the hosts — 93:58.
Point guard Marcos Knight became the match's hero at Samara with 20 points and 6 assists. Michael Myers (11 points) scored for Astana.
«We took the opponent seriously, and this predetermined the result. I was happy to allow playing to those who may not have played so much. For us, every player is important. Now we are relieved a little after a rather insulting defeat from Zenit. We only had two days and needed the right mindset after such a disappointing defeat. Today, everyone has made their contribution: in terms of energy, in terms of defense, this is what we encourage the players to do,» said Sergey Bazarevich, head coach of Samara.
Astana will play the following matches in Kostanay, playing two games against Tobol on the weekend, and on Monday, the capital's basketball players will meet with Lokomotiv-Kuban.
