Marius Grigonis and the CSKA Moscow club he represents became the champions of the VTB United League Super Cup.
Dimitrio Itoudis students in the final 81:73 defeated the Zenit team of Saint Petersburg, represented by Artūras Gudaitis and Mindaugas Kuzminskas.
It is true that the Lithuanians from Zenit did not sign up for the match. They watched the game from the stands.
At that time, Grigonis, who won his first trophy in the CSKA team, started the duel in the starting five and scored 11 points in 19 minutes (0/3 doubles, 3/5 shots, 2/2 penalties), 1 rebound , 2 assists and 9 utility points.
The match was started better by CSKA, who already gained a double-digit lead in the first half (21:10) and controlled the match until the middle of the quarter.
6 minutes before the end of the match, Grigonis scored a triple and gave the Red Army a double-digit lead (66:54). However, the thinning Zenit did not give up: they responded with a 9: 2 streak and came close to 5 points 3 minutes after Jordan Loyd’s three-point lead (63:68).
CSKA decided the end of the match with a thunderbolt of 7: 1, which was completed by Nikita Kurbanov (75:64) with three and a half points to go. Xavi Pascual’s students were no longer able to create a miracle.
The most productive among the winners was Will Clyburn, who scored 18 points (3/6 dvit., 3/4 trit., 3/4 penalties) in 32 minutes, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 errors, 2 interceptions and 18 utility scores.
Zenit was not spared from defeat by Loyd, who scored 15 points (1/4 doubles, 2/6 trit., 7/7 penalties), 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 errors and 17 utility points in 30 minutes.
In the final, the St. Petersburg club lost one of its leaders. After playing just 30 seconds in the first half, Shabazz Napier injured his ankle and subsequently did not return to the park.
CSKA: Willas Clyburn 18, Gabriel Lundberg 14 (sixth chamber), Marius Grigonis 11, Nikola Milutinov 10 (fifth chamber), Tornikė Šengelija (ninth chamber), Johannes Voigtmann and Aleksejus Švedas 7 each.
