Game progress
The Perm team arrived in Tallinn with 3 losses in a row. And in the first minutes, Kalev made clear that it would be difficult for the guests to change this situation. JeQuan Lewis did not give a break to PARMA defence, as a result the hosts seized the lead. But in the middle of the 1st quarter, PARMA began to gradually seize the initiative.10:2 run generally made by Artsiyom Parakhouski, Adas Juskevicius and Eigirdas Zhukauskas, turned Kalev from the leading side into the catching up side. The end of the quarter also remained for the perm Krai team — 22:16.
In the second 10 minutes, PARMA increased the pressure and eventually played almost the best quarter of this season. In 9 minutes of playing time, they allowed their opponents to score only 2 points, and only a minute before the halftime, Marcis Vitols managed to shoot two 3-pointers. By this time, the guests had 22 points lead, and Jeremiah Hill became the key player of the quarter with 11 points.
At the start of the 3rd quarter, PARMA tried to immediately create comfortable advantage and remove all questions about the result of the game. 3 threes in a row from Adas Juskevicius made Kalev’s gap almost hopeless – 57:26. Until the last minute of the quarter, PARMA scored points only from behind the arc, exactly 5 threes.
