Khimky started the game better as they made 6-10 lead. Prokom was scoreless for more than 3 minutes and visitors jumped to 6-12, what forced coach Pacesas to call a time out. It was a good decision and Prokom closed the first quarter with 6-0 run for 12-12 tie after ten minutes. At the halfway of Q2 the hosts were 25-21 up but they somehow stopped after that, while Keith Langford dominated on the other side and paced Khimky to 32-37 turn. Prokom came to minus one soon after that, but then Sergey Monya buried his third three-pointer to boost the guests' lead to 32-36 at halftime. Prokom tied the score to 36-36 at the beginning of the second half and after that rest of the third period was pretty leveled with neither of teams making a serious lead. Thus, there was 10 more minutes to be played and teams started from zero again, 48-48. Mostly owing to Ratko Varda and Bobby Brown, the home squad jumped to 58-50 with 6 minutes left. After time out, Khimky replied with 0-6 and Daniel Ewing made 2 FTs for the hosts. Prokom went to the last minute with 67-64 and Ratko Varda sealed the outcome with a basket. Monya missed on the other side and Asseco Prokom fans already started to celebrate their first win.
In the next round, Asseco Prokom will meet Caja Laboral on the road. Khimky will host Partizan in very important game.
