Lokomotiv-Kuban defeated the Lithuanian club in the Eurocup

Russia (bbabo.net), - Krasnodar "Lokomotiv-Kuban" in the 11th round of group "A" of the Eurocup defeated the Lithuanian "Lietkabelis" - 90:62.

Now our club shares the second place with the Serbian "Partizan", the Spanish "Joventut" is in the lead with nine victories.

Since Loko managed to win with a minimal margin (85:84) in the first round on the road in Panevėžys, this defeat is especially impressive. The Kuban team set the team season on the strength of the defense, allowing the opponent to score only 62 points.

The hosts had an excellent game played by the Russians, who are part of the national team. Stanislav Ilnitsky scored 14 points, Andrey Martyuk and Vladislav Yemchenko - 11 points each. However, the legionnaires also showed the appropriate class, with Errick McCollum and Darius Thompson 15 points each.

- The difference of 28 points does not quite reflect what happened on the court, - says Andrey Vedischev, the president of PBC Lokomotiv-Kuban. – “Lietkabelis” imposed on us and aggressive defense. To receive the ball or pass the ball, you had to constantly overcome resistance. This was achieved through team play and individual skill. Loko didn't have everything perfect in attack, but I was glad that our guys defended much better. The team has worked intensively over the past two weeks on the mistakes made in previous matches.

Krasnodar will play the next game of the tournament on February 2 in France with Boulogne Metropolitans.
