Regular Season Day 25: CSKA - Zenit 93-90

Date: January 24, 2026
Fourth-ranked Zenit (14-9) gave a tough game to first ranked CSKA (21-2) in Moscow on Saturday. CSKA managed to secure only three-point victory 93-90. However their fans expected easier game. CSKA made 21-of-24 free shots (87.5 percent) during the game. 24 personal fouls committed by Zenit helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American guard Melo Trimble (190-1995, college: Maryland, agency: Pensack Sports) stepped up and scored 21 points (made all of his seven free throws) for the winners and Guyanese-French Livio Jean-Charles (205-1993) chipped in 10 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Four CSKA players scored in double figures. At the losing side Croatian center Luka Samanic (208-2000) responded with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 10 rebounds and Georgy Zhbanov (197-1997) scored 17 points and 8 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. CSKA have an impressive series of twelve victories in a row. Defending Russian champion maintains first place with 21-2 record, which they share with UNICS. Zenit at the other side keeps the fourth position with nine games lost. They share it with Parma-Pari. CSKA is looking forward to face Enisey (#7) in Krasnoyarsk in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Zenit will play at home against Avtodor and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
