Game-changing moment

By the time Bost struck from downtown, Khimki led 36-55 early in the second half and it didn't take long for the guests to seal the outcome.

Stellar stat
Khimki made 25 of 36 two-point shots (69.4%), while limiting Gran Canaria to 11 of 23 shots inside the arc (47.8%). Khimki had 29 assists, one shy of the club's EuroLeague record, and committed just 12 turnovers.

Did you notice?
It was Khimki's second trip to Gran Canaria Arena. In 2015, Khimki thrashed Gran Canaria 66-91 in Game 1 of the two-way EuroCup Finals. That was Gran Canaria's biggest home loss in European competition. Khimki came back and broke that record again.
