Krasnodar will host regular season game on Thursday.
Lokomotiv Kuban (Krasnodar) vs Enisey (Krasnoyarsk)
Time: 20:00 (Moscow time)
Place: Basket Hall, Krasnodar, Russia
Broadcast: VK Video, VTB League website
Lokomotiv Kuban: The season opener in Krasnodar was as dramatic as it gets, with Loko losing by one point after Garrett Nevels’ game-winning buzzer beater. A second consecutive home loss with new new coach is definitely not part of plans, so the team will come out with a fierce attitude. After the loss against Uralmash, Anton Yudin expressed his dissatisfaction with the level of play in defense. We will soon find out how the Krasnodar team reacted.
Enisey: The Krasnoyarsk team has rebuilt after an unsuccessful last season. Now Enisey has 3 international players and talented Russians. Mikhail Vedishchev is sure going to be motivated, as he belongs to Loko. The renewed Enisey will try to pull off another upset, but Lokomotiv Kuban looks like the favourite.
