VTB United League

Regular Season Day 41: Samara - Astana 72-74

Date: March 26, 2025
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams when 11th ranked Russian Samara (8-31) was edged at home by bottom-ranked Kazakhstan Astana (2-37) 74-72 on Wednesday. Astana made 18-of-22 free shots (81.8 percent) during the game. Russian forward Danila Pokhodiaev (204-2001, agency: Stanislav Ryzhov) stepped up and scored 18 points and 7 rebounds for the winners and American guard TJ Starks (188-1998, college: CSUN) chipped in 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Astana's coach used entire bench in such tough game. Point guard Andrei Sopin (186-1997) responded with a double-double by scoring 21 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists and forward Egor Amosov (197-2008) scored 12 points and 7 rebounds. Four Samara players scored in double figures. Astana maintains twelfth place with 2-37 record. Samara lost their tenth game in a row. They keep the eleventh position with 31 games lost. Astana will meet higher ranked MBA Moscow (#9) on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Samara will play against Parma-Pari in Perm and hope to secure a win.
