The Lower-ranked teams shock the favorites as they won all four games. Again as in the first round, the hosts won all the clashes.
Krasnie Krilya — CSKA 92-81
The game was mostly controlled by Krasnie Krilya. CSKA Moscow was better in second period 20-17. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Krasnie Krilya dominated down low during the game scoring 42 of its points in the paint compared to CSKA Moscow's 20. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 23 assists.

The former international swingman Viktor Khryapa (204-82) added 14 points for the guests. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. CSKA Moscow's coach tested eleven players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game.
