Regular Season Round 23: Cherkasy - Azovmash 82-85

Date: January 24, 2012
Twelfth-ranked Cherkasy (6-18) gave a tough game to fourth ranked Azovmash (16-8). The visitors from Mariupol managed to secure only three-point victory 85-82. However their fans expected much easier game. Cherkasy was ahead by 14 points after three quarters before a 27-10 charge of Azovmash, which allowed them to win the game. They made 19-of-24 charity shots (79.2 percent) during the game. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. 25 personal fouls committed by Cherkasy helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The former international guard Artur Drozdov (199-80) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 13 rebounds. The former international center Oleksiy Pecherov (213-85) contributed with 18 points (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) for the winners. Azovmash's coach Gintaras Krapikas allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. American guard Willie Solomon (187-78, college: Clemson, agency: New Trend Agency) answered with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists and Nigerian center Kenny Adeleke (205-83, college: Hartford) added 15 points and 13 rebounds in the effort for Cherkasy. The victory was the third consecutive win for Azovmash. They moved-up to third place. Cherkasy lost their sixth game in a row. They dropped to the thirteenth position with 18 games lost. Azovmash's next round opponent will be league's leader Budivelnyk in Kyiv and it will be for sure the game of the week. Cherkasy will play at home against Kryvbasbasket (#11) in Krivoy Rog and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
