But Khimki’s playmaking down the stretch proved too much to overcome. After DeAndre Kane cut the deficit to three, 80-77, on a three-point play with 3:35 remaining, Khimki responded with an 8-0 run to ice the outcome.
E.J. Rowland hit a layup, Alexey Shved knocked down a ‘3’, and Nobel Boungou-Colo converted three free throws after getting fouled on a 3-point attempt to put the game out of reach.

Nizhny guard Ivan Strebkov continued his hot play in the League, finishing one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double to go with 15 points.
