Regular Season Day 25: UNICS - N.Novgorod 119-76

Date: January 24, 2026
One of the most interesting games of round 25 was a derby match between two teams from Russia. The game took place in Kazan where second ranked UNICS outleveled visiting N.Novgorod (6-18) 119-76. UNICS made 23-of-30 charity shots (76.7 percent) during the game. They shot the lights out from three nailing 18 long-distance shots on high 64.3 percentage. UNICS players were unselfish on offense dishing 37 assists comparing to just 19 passes made by N.Novgorod's players. They brought some defensive toughness making 11 blocks. N.Novgorod was plagued by 28 personal fouls down the stretch. American swingman Ty Brewer (201-2000, college: UAB) nailed 30 points and 4 assists for the winning side and his fellow American import center Jalen Reynolds (208-1992, college: Xavier) accounted for 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Four UNICS players scored in double figures. Center Kirill Popov (208-1998) came up with 24 points and 8 rebounds (made all of his seven free throws) and guard Sergey Zotkin (190-2003) added 20 points and 5 assists (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) respectively for N.Novgorod in the defeat. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. The victory was the eleventh consecutive win for UNICS. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with CSKA. N.Novgorod lost their third game in a row. They keep the ninth place with 18 games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
