In the last match Khimki practically lead the entire game, however, losing in the final quarter, letting a mid-court offensive get by them, with one second to the siren’s blow. They were unable to make an inside shot. The ball circled the rim and dropped off like a brick.

Our team completed its objective, the boys continue on to the battle for the medals. In the next stage the opponents to beat are: Metallurg, UNICS, and Enisey.
