Brno kept the lead with a last-second hit, Nymburk also survived the drama
Brno were close to their third defeat in a row in the home game against Děčín, but Randy Culpepper equalized with a three-pointer at the final siren to make it 81:81. In overtime, the guests led 86:85, but Brno pulled away the victory thanks to an eleven-point streak.
The match between USK and Nymburk also had a balanced course. The guests won the first three quarters by a single point each time. At home, eight seconds before the end of the 85th, it was 85:6, but the final result was given by Eric Lockett with one converted six. Michael Okauro’s 26 points didn’t help USK either.
“We are really very upset with the result because it has become a habit. After the match, everyone praises our performance, our game. Yes, we played well, but once again we take the win away. Being content with losing is for those who don’t have a winning mentality, and that’s not us. We stick together and prove to everyone that we can win,” said USK coach Francesco Tabellini in a press release.
