Team Analysis

UNICS

Before the end of the regular season, UNICS has slowed down a bit. The team lost against Zenit and CSKA, but then beat Yenisey (92:86). This did not affect their position, as they will finish second, only behind CSKA.

In the playoffs, UNICS will face MBA. Velimir Perasović's charges need to prepare well for the knockout matches, so the match against Nizhny Novgorod will be important in this regard.

Nizhny Novgorod

Nizhny Novgorod has not fulfilled the season plan. In the current regular league, Sergey Kozin's charges have lost 27 of 39 games and finished in ninth position. They will no longer be able to catch up to eighth-placed Yenisey, as they are three wins away.

It should be noted that this season Nizhny Novgorod has had a terrible defensive performance. For example, this month the team has conceded more than 88 points in four games.
