Strolling Through Perm for Moscow Residents? (An Unconventional City Adventure)
Kickoff Time: December 20th at 5:30 PM Moscow time. Get ready for a thrilling VTB United League match as PARMA takes on CSKA at the Molot Arena in Perm.
PARMA
With momentum on their side, PARMA has been on a roll following a sluggish start to the championship. Currently in 6th place, the team boasts a five-game winning streak, including a 6-point victory over Lokomotiv – the only team to have bested CSKA in the 2023/24 league so far.
The team's latest win came against Runa, with BJ Johnson shining as the standout performer. He scored 29 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in over 34 minutes of play. Some other impressive games saw Richard Solomon record a double-double of 19 points and 14 rebounds, Vladislav Perevalov net 15 points, and Aizeya Riz contribute 9 points and 10 assists.
CSKA
Leading the pack with 16 victories in 17 games, CSKA has been unstoppable. They've only faltered once against Lokomotiv, proving they're a formidable force in the VTB League. They consistently overcome mistakes with their superior play.
The "Red Army" boasts a well-rounded roster that consistently gives it their all. As they journey to Perm, securing a victory might be delayed, but it's definitely on the horizon.
In their last game, CSKA defeated Avtodor. Leading the charge were Amat M'Baye (19 points), Melvin Trimble (16 points and six assists), Kasper Edwards (14 points and six rebounds), and Tony Jakiri (11 points and five rebounds). Their stats speak for themselves, as CSKA trends towards strong performances.
