Regular Season Day 18: Astana - UNICS 38-91

Date: December 4, 2024
No shocking result in a game when fourth ranked Russian UNICS (12-5) crushed bottom-ranked Kazakhstan Astana (0-17) in Nur-Sultan 91-38 on Wednesday. UNICS dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Astana's 28. UNICS forced 31 Astana turnovers and outrebounded them 44-33 including 17 on the offensive glass. UNICS looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when UNICS made 7 blocks. American guard Marcos Knight (191-1989, college: MTSU, agency: Slash Sports) notched 21 points and 4 assists to lead the effort and forward Sergey Toropov (205-1989) supported him with 10 points and 13 rebounds. Four UNICS players scored in double figures. Even 9 points and 5 rebounds by guard Rustam Murzagaliyev (190-1992) did not help to save the game for Astana. American forward Galin Smith (204-1998, college: Maryland) added 9 points. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. UNICS maintains fourth position with 12-5 record. Loser Astana still closes the standings. UNICS will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Astana will play against MBA Moscow (#11) and hopes to get finally their first victory.
