Story
Janis Timma completed Khimki’s miracle comeback in regulation with a dagger 3-pointer and the visitors went on to win by four in overtime, 97-94, behind 34 points from Alexey Shved.
Nizhny Novgorod was on the verge of forcing a three-way tie for 5th place and completing a season sweep of the Yellow and Blue. Playing without guards Ivan Strebkov and Kendrick Perry, Georgy Zhbanov completed his incredible run with another near triple-double (12 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists), while Vladimir Dragicevic poured in 25.
Nizhny led 77-66 with 2:20 remaining after an Ian Hummer free throw.
But a pair of Jordan Mickey free throws and an Alexey Shved 3-pointer sliced the deficit to six in a matter of seconds.
Despite perfect free-throw shooting down the stretch from the home team, Khimki continued to claw back by forcing multiple turnovers. Trailing by three, 83-80, with less than five seconds remaining, the Yellow and Blue executed a perfect in-bounds play to find an open Janis Timma, who drained the game-tying triple.
