Prometheus is the champion of the Latvian-Estonian Basketball League!
Latvian club “VEF Riga” was the current holder of the title of Latvian-Estonian Basketball League champion at the start of the match. Of course, all the Ukrainians were sick, so this season the champion would change, because if they won the final, our Prometheus could become the champion. Needless to say, hopes were high because during the regular season the Titans defeated their current opponents twice. True, the injury that attacked the team was a little embarrassing – Kennedy, Agada, Stephens and Lukashov were out of the game.
The game started with a crazy 3-pointer. With the score at 11:11, only once the teams scored two points and the rest were three-pointers. By the way, this trend continued throughout the fight – many people flew behind the arc.
Our first quarter thwarted the pressure from the Latvians. It was not possible to stop completely, our team warmed up and we lost the first ten minutes at 20:21.
But on the other hand, the usual domination of Prometheus began. Balvin’s strength, Sanon’s pace, Clavell’s concentration (who meanwhile earned the title of MVP of the season), Sidorov’s leadership skills and Petrov’s safety net instilled confidence in the championship even before the big break, and then those impressions were barely confirmed. . No panic, accurate scoring, skillful defensive play – Prometheus went nowhere. Latvians tried to do something, but their class was still lower.
In the last seconds of the 30-40 match, the teams just stood on the ground, as a result of which the siren recorded the score 77:62. “Prometheus” rightfully became the champion. Next – Conquest of the Eurocup?
