THE STAKES

If Spartak wins and Banvit beats Buducost, the Russian team will advance. Krka Novo Mesto is still winless in the Last 16 and faces a tough task at Yubilyni Arena on Tuesday. Even if it does win, it probably has no chance to move on.

THE TAKE

Spartak has a deep bench and power under the glass with Loukas Mavrokefalides, Miha Zupan, Anatloy Kashirov and Vladimir Kashirov. Their matchups with Jure LAlic, Jure Balazic and Smilijan Pavic will define the tempo, as the Russian side prefers a fast pace at home. Afik Nissim will have the task of trying to stop Patrick Beverley, the key to Spartak’s offense.

Quotes Head Coaches

SEKULIC, ALEKSANDER
KRKA Novo Mesto
"It is true that Spartak is a strong team and that is practically invincible at home. They play very good basketball, which they also demonstrated in the game in Novo mesto. We will go to the match in St. Petersburg bravely and if we manage like we did in three quarters against Cedevita this weekend, we can compete."

"Spartak is a very tough opponent. After nine consecutive defeats, it is very difficult for us. I hope we could overcome all this pressure and play the best we can. If there is chance to win, we will try to do that."
Vladimir Dragicevic - Spartak SPB (photo Spartak St. Petersburg)Spartak St. Peteresburg remained unbeaten in the Eurocup by downing Krka Novo Mesto 71-57 on Tuesday in Group K. Spartak is atop the table with a 4-0 record and has to wait for the result of the game between Buducnost and Banvit later to know if it advances to the quarterfinals. The loss reduced Novo Mesto’s quarterfinals hopes to close to zero. Spartak started on fire the game with a 9-0 run and never looked back. It took an early double-digit margin and protected it for all 40 minutes. Vladimir Dragicevic led the winners with 19 points, Anatoly Kashirov bagged 15, Yotam Halperin tallied 11 with 4 assists and Patrick Beverley dished 7 assists. Zoran Dragic was the only players to score in double figures for Novo Mesto with 12 points, while Matej Rojc, Jure Balazic and Jure Lalic added 9 apiece.

Halperin opened the scoring from downtown and was followed by Kashirov underneath, before the same two players scored easy layups capping a 9-0 start. Balazic with a turnaround jumper stopped the scoreless stretch for Novo Mesto, then from mid-range Kashirov posted 2 more points answered by Edo Muric to make it 11-4. Halperin went end to end, and Beverley extended the difference to 15-4, which forced the guests to call timeout. Muric and Viktor Keyru exchanged three pointers, while Loukas Mavrokefalides and Uros Lucic nailed free throws. Then Dragicevic made it 23-9 with three minutes left. Matej Rojc moved the scoring for the guests with a jumper. Dragicevic pulled down an offensive rebound for 2 easy points to make it 27-13 before Lucic from the corner drilled a jumper to finish the first quarter on 29-15. Janis Strelnieks hit a mid-range jumper after two scoreless minutes for Spartak and Dragicevic with a turnaround jumper reached a 33-16 margin. Muric scored a pair from the foul line and Halperin dished an assist to Dragicevic for an easy layup, which was answered by a three-point-play completed by Lalic for 35-21. Dragicevic scored 3 of 4 from the free throw line and in between Lalic connected with Bojan Krvec for a layup. Then Balazic cut the margin to 38-25. Mavrokefalides drained a three-pointer, Balazic bagged a jumper with a soft touch before Kashirov scored 5 points in a row to make it 46-28. Dragic made consecutive layups, but a Strlenieks triple with 1.4 seconds left made it 49-34 at halftime.

Dragic scored a free throw and then a layup in open court to close within 49-37, but Halperin dished a lovely assist to Dragicevic before Smilijan Pavic hit another shot in the paint. The defense prevailed in this part of the game. Keyru scored a short jumper and then Balazic from the three-point land cut the deficit to 53-42, but Halperin ran the court to find an easy bucket for 55-42. Rojc’s jumper and Beverley’s rainbow shot were the only baskets over three minutes, then Kashirov from the foul line fixed the final 59-44 at the end of the third quarter. Kashirov scored, assisted by Strelnieks, to make it 61-44 early in the last quarter before Lalic scored three times from the foul line, but Dragicevic hit another basket in the lane and then a Rojc jumper changed the score to 63-49. Dragic hit from beyond the arc for Krka, Beverley made a step-back shot as the hosts put the game away early and marched to another Eurocup win.

Head Coaches

ZDOVC, JURE
Spartak St. Petersburg
"Congratulations to my players for the victory. We expected that it wouldn’t be an easy game. Krka is a good, tough team that has played together for some years. We played very good in the first half, but when we had chances to increase the advantage, we relaxed. We have this problem in some games. In the second half we couldn’t make some open shoots. But finally the key for victory mostly was the defense. The players understood this fact and our game in defense allowed us to win."
SEKULIC, ALEKSANDER
KRKA Novo Mesto
"Spartak started the game very good, they achieved big advantage and we couldn’t manage. It was the key moment of the whole game. They kept the difference all the game. But it’s clear that Spartak is one of the favorites in the Eurocup. We tried to do our best, but we couldn’t show our best game."

Players

HALPERIN, YOTAM
Spartak St. Petersburg
"It seemed to be an easy game. But it seemed so only on the paper. In reality it wasn’t such. If you are not focused 100%, you can lose. Krka played with enthusiasm and it’s always dangerous. We allowed them to score 57 points, but we could have played better. But today our game was enough for victory."
