Kutaisi's victory over Tskhum-Apkhazeti

The games of the next round of the Super League, scheduled for today, are over. Tskhum-Apkhazeti and Kutaisi met in the second match. The match turned out to be quite tense, which ended with the victory of Kutaisi, which is in a better shape at this stage 89:84 (Statistics).

Tskhumi coached by Nikoloz Cherkezishvili fought the whole game, eliminated the difference many times, were not able to win. Kutaisi won with the great help of the Portuguese legionnaire, Joel Almeida. Basketball is a team sport and it is difficult to attribute the entire victory to 1 particular player, however, considering what Almeida did in today’s match, it would be very difficult for the Imereti club to win without him.

Leaving aside the statistics (27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists), Almeida has truly led the team. He acted calmly, dingy on the court. He was both scoring and sorting out combinations of Kutaisi. He was attacking and scoring at the very moment when the leadership of Kutaisi was threatened. Of course, his teammates also supported him, but as its said, Almeida was doing the game.

Eventually the game ended in such a way that the situation did not become tense at the last minute. After the above-mentioned Almeida, Kashim Ransom was distinctive in the Imereti club with 17 points, Ilia Londaridze scored 12 points. Alexandre Phevadze was the most effective in Tskhum-Apkhazeti with 17 points. Tyler Green had 16 points and Giorgi Sharabidze scored 14.

Tbilisi: Cactus – TSU 13:00, Titebi – Dinamo 15:30
