Threes from Bertans and Timma got Khimki quickly back in front early in the third, 60-57. Fredette hit from long range and Calathes found Papapetrou for a monster dunk to make it 67-68. However, Khimki answered with a 10-2 spurt, with Timma making a put-back and a three-pointer, as Khimki took a 77-73 edge into the fourth quarter. More triples — another one from Timma and the first one from Sergey Karasev, followed by back-to-back baskets from Shved created an 87-75 advantage in the final quarter. Fredette hit two triples for the visitors, but Shved assisted on Jerebko's three and then nailed a second-chance three-pointer himself as Khimki closed out the game.

Overcoming turnover
Khimki won by 17 points in a game in which it had 17 turnovers, compared to only 5 from Panathinaikos. It was because Khimki shot 15-for 29 from long range compared to the 8-for-25 that Panathinaikos made from behind the three-point line and because Khimki also outrebounded the visitors 45-24.
