Regular Season Day 35: Zenit - Astana 86-63

Date: March 1, 2025
There was no surprise in Saint Petersburg where 12th ranked Kazakhstan Astana (1-32) was crushed by first ranked Russian Zenit (28-5) 86-63 on Saturday. Zenit looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Zenit made 7 blocks. It was a great evening for American Dwayne Bacon (201-1995, college: FSU) who led his team to a victory scoring 17 points and 6 rebounds. His fellow American import guard Trent Frazier (188-1998, college: Illinois) helped adding 14 points and 5 assists. Five Zenit players scored in double figures. Russian center Andrey Desiatnikov (220-1994, agency: Stanislav Ryzhov) responded with 10 points and 8 rebounds and American-Nigerian guard Daniel Utomi (198-1997, college: USC) scored 9 points and 7 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Zenit have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. Defending Russian champion maintains first place with 28-5 record, which they share with CSKA. Astana lost fifth consecutive game. They stay dead last with 32 lost games. Zenit will meet at home Samara (#11) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Astana will play against N.Novgorod and hope to win that game.
