Story
Rimas Kurtinaitis noted before Game 3 that Khimki needed to avoid a slow start like in the first two games and keep CSKA within 10 points. Khimki missed its first six shots and gave up a 7-0 run to open the evening, but managed to claw back in the opening period. Viacheslav Zaitcev converted an important three-point play (three of his nine points in the first quarter) and better defense kept the Army Men under 20 points in the first 10 minutes for the first time in the series, 18-14.
