Especially representative Matěj Svoboda led Děčín to victory, who scored 30 points including five three-pointers and also recorded 10 rebounds. “Hats off to Matěj Svoboda. He had a great match, and I’m happy that he picked it up at such a moment,” said the visitors’ captain Tomáš Pomikálek. “We knew that if we won, Brno would be under a lot of pressure. They had to,” he added.
Děčín won the sixth of the seven mutual duels in the season. The series can end on Sunday, when it is played again in Brno. “We didn’t deserve to win, we didn’t play well. Děčín played relaxed, had nothing to lose. The young guys played very well, on the contrary, our young players probably got scared that we had to win the game. It’s a shame, but we won’t give up yet. On Sunday we will give it everything. We have nothing to lose,” said Brno coach Martin Vaněk.
Ústí led by nine points at the beginning of the last quarter, but in the end they did not follow up on two home wins. The East Bohemians decided with a score of 21:6. The best scorer of the winners was Petr Šafarčík with 21 points, Lamb Autrey scored 25 points for the visitors, who made five of nine three-pointers.
