We let our opponent's leader, Isaiah Washington, to catch the rhythm from the start, and we couldn't do anything about him until the end, which is why we weren't able to secure the win earlier. Yes, you could say we were luckier in the end: Ilya Platonov missed two free throws, and Vsevolod Ishchenko hit a long-range shot off the backboard. But any win is important to us right now, because after three losses, we weren't in the best shape emotionally.
So, congratulations to my team on the victory. And our fans, I ask them to be patient. We're in a formative stage again now, as we've added two new players, and two more recently returned from injuries. But we'll definitely get better game by game.
