The second match of the paired tour of the High League championship in Khmelnytsky for "Prometheus-2-DDTU" also failed. BC "Khmelnytsky" turned out to be noticeably stronger than our teamagain. Thus, yesterday's "+20" in favor of the hosts after 20 minutes of the game, today were achieved during the first quarter. The club from Khmelnytsky in the starting ten minutes successfully used two Antons - Buts and Davydyuk in our three-second zone and attacked perfectly from the perimeter. 5 out of 9 shots were successful, Mykola Polyulyak scored three times. At the same time, our team suffered too many losses and travellings.
Instead, the debut of the second quarter was successful for our guys: in three and a half minutes the guests organized a 12:4 break (half of the points in this series were brought to the team by Mykhailo Bublyk). But then, Davydyuk managed 4 hits in a row from the arc -. His successful actions greatly helped the hosts of the court to take away this quarter as well.
After a long break, Khmelnytsky's basketball players were not so successful in attacking from afar, but they took a lot of balls on the backboard of Prometey-2-DDTU. A large number of attacks allowed the hosts to control the game, and when at the end of the third quarter Davydyuk finally hit from afar, their handicap was three dozen points - 75:45.
Yet before the last break, Dmytro Markov's wards were able to significantly reduce their gap, but in the last ten minutes the hosts dominated again and returned the "+30" before the final siren.
Two defeats in Khmelnytsky pushed our team to 3rd place. They were overtaken not only by the Khmelnytsky club, but also by Rivne. BC "Stary Lutsk-University", which topped the standings before this round, will play their matches this weekend. Dmitry Markov's wards had a two-week break in the championship. The Red and Whites will play their next matches away with BC Rivne on March 5 and 6.
