Regular Season Round 12: Astana - Barsy Atyrau 79-72

Date: February 26, 2026
Rather expected game when 3rd ranked Barsy Atyrau (12-14) lost to top-ranked Astana (22-0) in Nur-Sultan 72-79 on Thursday. Astana made 25-of-32 free shots (78.1 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists comparing to just 8 passes made by Barsy Atyrau's players. The winners were led by American point guard EJ Day (180-1999, college: Lasell) who scored that evening 19 points and 4 assists and Lithuanian guard Adas Juskevicius (194-1989, agency: Alti Sport) supported him with 14 points and 5 rebounds. Four Astana players scored in double figures. Even 36 points (!!!) and 7 rebounds by American point guard Michael Mays (178-1999, college: King) did not help to save the game for Barsy Atyrau. His fellow American import forward Marty Jackson (198-2000, college: St.Leo) added 10 points and 8 rebounds. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Astana have an impressive 22-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 22-0 record. Loser Barsy Atyrau keeps the third place with 14 games lost. They share the position with Almaty L.. Astana will meet at home Almaty L. (#4) in the next round. Barsy Atyrau will have a break next round.
