The final series of the Azerbaijan Basketball League among men will go down in the history of the country's championships.
Idman.biz reports that the duel between "Sabah" and "Neftchi" will be the longest final of the competition in the last 15 years.
Since the score is 2:2 after 4 matches, at least two more matches must be held to determine the champion. This means that the series will consist of at least 6 matches.
No final has lasted this long since 2010. One of the reasons for this is the necessity for the winner to win 4 victories.
Previously, the series lasted up to 2, and in recent years up to 3 wins, and sometimes a league system was applied. The longest series took place 2 years ago. In 2023, "Sabah" defeated "Ganja" in 5 matches – 3:2.
It should be noted that the 5th game between "Neftchi" and "Sabah" will be held on May 11.
