— Unfortunately we didn't bring about out plans for this game and our scheme failed. UNICS good defense made us flounder, straggle and proceed from team actions to individual ones. Practically all the game we were backward UNICS and when we took the lead it is incomprehensible somehow we allowed UNICS to make a comeback.
