Permians pleased their fans with a confident start, immediately gaining an advantage on the scoreboard. Our guys at first could not get used to the opponent's ring and made a significant number of misses both from behind the arc and from under the ring.

After a 4-0 scoring run at the start of the second quarter from Evgeny Pashutin's team, the head coach of MINSK took a timeout. The conversation with the coach went to the benefit of the Minsk residents, and Supreme Hannah single-handedly made a retaliatory scoring run 5:0. Unfortunately, offensive losses and misses during the quarter did not allow MINSK to reduce the gap on the scoreboard by the end of the next ten minutes of the game (46:29).
In the third quarter, our players began to get shots from behind the arc. So, Daniil Barysevich and Supreme Hannah designed the exact “three-point”, however, the opponent at that time was not inferior in performance. Making more rebounds, PARMA-PARI, with the support of the stands, went to the break with an advantage of 24 points (65:41).
In the final quarter, our guys were not inferior in their desire to win, but the higher accuracy remained with the owners of the site. In our team, Daniil Kasko, Daniil Barysevich, Kanstantsin Pasko and Uladzislau Mikulski made accurate throws from an average distance, and Benjamin-Pavel Dodoo and Kiryl Sitnik loaded spectacular “three-point” shots. Unfortunately, it was not possible to take the victory to Minsk from Perm. The match ended with a score of 85:62.

The game dictates its own rules, we need to develop, become strong at least in skill – in what we can influence.”
