Great Teodosic pass and big Bolomboy throwdown! Motorola Magic Moment
Hollins opened the scoring with an offensive rebound and three-point play for the home team before Mickey started the Zenit account with a triple. Anton Pushkov’s jumper gave Zenit its first lead, 6-7, with a jumper, but Zvezda came right back with Wolters scoring twice in a 7-0 run. After Mickey and Kalinic traded threes, Hollins fastbreak slam made it 18-10 after 5 minutes. After a timeout, Ponitka scored inside and Baron from downtown to narrow the gap. The momentum changed as Dmitry Kulagin and Sergey Karasev buried threes in a 0-8 run that put the visitors ahead 20-24. Though Aaron White split free throws, Poythress shined with a monster slam and a monster block before Andrey Zubkov beat the first-quarter buzzer with a three for a 21-29 lead.
Hollins and Wolters sandwiched threes around a shot from Baron to revive the hosts. Wolters penetrated for a layup and then his steal led to a Mitrovic score that made it 33-35. Zenit committed turnovers on three consecutive possessions while Mitrovic scored again and Hollins capped a three-chance offense with a three to give the hosts a 40-38 edge. After a timeout, Baron buried back-to-back threes to regain the lead. A jumper by Wolters made it 42-44 at the break.
Ognjen Kuzmic stepped up with a block, free throws and a three-point play early in the second half as Zvezda moved in front. Kalinic capped an 8-0 start to the half with a triple. Zubkov ended a 4-minute scoring drought for Zenit with a dunk that made it 50-46. Nikola Ivanovic’s steal and score extended the Zvezda cushion to 8. Baron answered with his fourth triple of the night. Wolters made it 57-50 in favor of the home team through three quarters.
Wolters drained a floater to extend the margin to 9 before Baron connected once again from behind the arc. Mickey also tripled, however, Marko Simonovic’s first points of the night kept Zvezda in control at 63-56. Baron twice penetrated to narrow the gap and then fed Poythress for a three-point play to get within 2. Conner Frankamp’s first bucket of the night tied it at 65-65 with 3 minutes to play. Mitrovic nudged Zvezda in front from the foul line only to see Frankamp make a tough layup to tie it again. Poythress was assessed an unsportsmanlike foul on Mitrovic with 1:19 remaining. The Zvezda power forward made the resulting free throws, but Wolters missed from deep on the resulting extra possession. Poythress made amends with an offensive rebound that led to Loyd’s first basket, a jumper in the lane that tied it at 69-69 with 37.8 seconds on the clock. Zvezda missed twice on the final possession and the game went to overtime.
Loyd hit a jumper to begin the extra period before Kalinic got the crowd involved with a three from the elbow. Mickey came to the fore with a spectacular block and 2 free throws for a 72-75 lead with 3 minutes left. Kalinic dunked off a steal, but Loyd buried a jumper on a two-chance possession. Loyd netted free throws to make it a two-possession game with 25.6 seconds remaining and Zenit held on the rest of the way.
