Story
Enisey erased a nine-point deficit in the 4th quarter to shock Khimki and secure its 10th win of the season. Trailing 74-65 with a little more than six minutes remaining, Enisey got a pair of clutch 3-pointers from Michael Bruesewitz, then outscored the home team by 17 down the stretch for the upset victory.
D’Angelo Harrison continued his strong play to finish the season, recording a double-double with 34 points, 12 rebounds and a season-best 42 efficiency rating.
