Congratulations to Zenit, they won in even game, where both team had chances. Our opponents were better shooting-wise, they made 8 of 15 three-pointers in the first half and continued making shots, including two-pointers, in the second. On the other hand, we played really bad third quarter. We shot poorly, we made 59 per cent of free throws, we made 4 of 16 two-pointers. Shooting created difference tonight.
