CSKA – Unics 103-105: He beat Moscow with a buzzer beater and took the lead with an unstoppable Hezonia
Fighting to the end in Moscow, Unics prevails over CSKA to secure the VTB League regular season lead after 13 games (11-2). At -2 (9-4) the defending champion fell behind in fourth. Mario Hezonia had 31 points and 10 rebounds, a shocking Daniel Hackett with 33 points from 5/8 three points.
The never-ending battle between CSKA and Unics in Moscow for the VTB League was a final worthy of what had happened in the previous 55 minutes when Ou Jay Mayo failed to score. The American Guard took the final attack, shooting from the side and giving Velimir Perasovic’s team a great brace of 105-103.
Up to Maygio’s shot everything was brittle and Battle never… ended. In fact, the two teams would settle their differences in the third overtime final, as the Muscovites kept finding a way to escape defeat just before every single circumstance that had them pinned on the ropes ended. First it was Grigonis who equalized in 40′ with shots to make it 77-77, then in 45′ the Lithuanian made another 85-85 off the line, while in 50′ it was Hackett who brought the game to a draw (92- 92) with his own 2/2 recordings.
The Italian-American was terrible and made one of the most important matches of his career despite missing for three in the 8” from the end. Overall, the 34-year-old guard played 40’58” and had 33 points (6/10 two points, 5/8 three points) and 5 rebounds. However, his performance proved afterwards that it wasn’t enough in a fight CSKA went to, counting the absences of Klaiburn, Vogtman and Sengelia (as well as coach Itoudis).
So she was vulnerable in the front positions. That’s where Unics scored to emerge victorious from the floor. Above all, Mario Hezonia founded his own party. The Croatian ended the match with a shocking double – double of 31 points and 10 rebounds after remaining in the game for 48’49”. His own performance and, of course, Mayo’s large basket ultimately judged the shock duel in Moscow.
THE TEN MINUTES: 13-26, 41-42, 61-60, 77-77, 85-85 (a’ par.), 92-92 (b’ par.), 103-105 (c’ par.)

Lakers player independently fixes dislocated finger during Dallas game
Los Angeles Lakers player Marcus Smart He described how he removed his finger during an intervention attempt and then reattached it:
“My finger popped out again, so I had to put it back in. I put it right back in. It was the same finger that had been operated on before, so it was a little scary, but it would still be fine.”
I sprained my operated finger and thought, “I don’t want to quit playing.” I quickly tried to set it up and if it hadn’t worked I would have left the site long ago. But I managed to get back into the game.
It’s part of basketball, it’s part of me. I’m a tough player, things happen and I want to help the team in any way possible, whether it’s with ten fingers or nine fingers,” Smart said.
While Los Angeles Lakers defeated Dallas Mavericks with a score of 116:110, Smart played 32 minutes and played with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks during this time.

Fan support? It was really special. I didn’t know what to expect because I know how the city responds to such cold weather, but I’m really grateful to a lot of people for coming.
