The second guest paired tour in a row "Prometey-2-DDTU" began with a significant defeat. At the same time in Khmelnytsky, our team, as in the first match in the Yuzhne, missed more than 100 points. The opponent established its significant dominance in the first quarter. In the first 7 minutes, when Khmelnytsky's handicap exceeded the "10+" mark (20:9), Illia Kabatsyura showed his sniper skills - 10 points. In addition, the hosts made good use of anthropometric data and the experience of their bigmen - Anton Buts and Anton Davydyuk. The result was a large number of "Khmelnytsky" points from the "paint" and of the second chance. At the same time, Dmytro Markov's wards lost themselves, allowing 8 losses in the quarter.

In the second ten minutes, the hosts constantly increased their dominance in the score and in the 27th minute it reached 27 points. Before the big break, the "red and whites" slightly reduced their gap, but the team went to rest for a comfortable "+20" for "Khmelnytsky". By that time, Anton Buts had already had a double-double.

Dmytro Markov's wards spent the second half of the match much better. They managed attacks from the perimeter - 6 successful ones in the third quarter (performed by Daniil Pyrohov and Vladislav Orzul, two each ). However, the opponent responded in the same way, so they allowed our team to get closer to them only to 15 points. In the 34th minute after the effective passage by Pyrohov, the gap of "Prometey-2-DDTU" was reduced by another 4 points, but Khmelnytsky needed only two minutes to break away from our team again. After a free throw from the perimeter by Mykhailo Horobchenko, Khmelnytskyi's handicap was 18 points and it became clear that our team will not be able to save the game.

Tomorrow at noon the rivals will come out on the court of the Khmelnytsky sports complex "Novator" and play the second match of the round.
