It's time for fiesta

The home game with the Polish Turov in the VTB United League became our 9th triumph in the row. After some struggle with Zoran's pack the visitors from Zgozelec had to let go anyway.

Zoran Lukic, head coach BCNN: 
It was a tough game with a qualified opponent which came to the floor very well prepared not to let us lead the score. We've faced some proper and well-varied defence. But I'm glad that our team showed its character and didn't let the opponent affect the final result. Although today we have to start thinking about the coming game. 

«Nizhny» - «Turov»: 88 – 72 (28 – 20, 18 – 20, 22 – 19, 20 – 13)

«NN»: Antonov (22 pts), Babbitt (21 + 5 rebounds), Panin (11 + 7 rebounds), Khvostov (9), Brezec (9), Thompson (7 + 11 rebounds), Paul (5), Savelyev (4), Ivlev (0), Baburin (0), Golovin – did not play
