The Favbet Super League match ended with an incredible winning shot in the last seconds. Video.
On Tuesday, February 6, the Ukrainian Basketball Championship hosted regular season matches in the Favbet Super League. On the floor of the DC Olimp in the Southern BIPA, Cherkasy Monkeys won 68:67 in the last seconds.
The decisive shot at the siren was made by Kelon Wheatley - the American guard from Odesa brought his team the victory and became the best player of the match with 24 points.
Interestingly, in the first half, Odesa's lead reached 13 points, and after the big break, the Monkeys had a 9-point advantage. But the last word in this match was for Oleg Shevchenko's team, which included American legionnaires Wheatley and Lewis (21 points) in time to clutch. It is also worth noting a double-double by Tkachenko, who scored 12 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.
BIPA defeated the Monkeys for the first time this season, closing the gap in the season series. Cherkasy will close the bubble in the Southern with a match against Staryi Lutsk, and BIPA will play against Kyiv-Basket.
