Game progress
From the very first minutes, the teams went into attacking mode. For a long time, neither side managed to gain an advantage. Only at the start of the second quarter Victor Sanders and Timofei Gerasimov allowed Enisey to take a lead –  37:27

Hayden Dalton led the guests. He scored 13 points in the second quarter. This allowed the Yekaterinburg team to take the lead. But Enisey still had the last word in the quarter. Gerasimov gave the hosts back the lead by halftime – 52:51.

Key moment
In the second half, the teams reduced the intensity. The game went into clutch. Anton Glazunov put Uralmash ahead 38 seconds before the end – 85:82. After Sergey Dolinin and Sanders missed shots, the Siberian team had to use tactical fouls. And that move could have saved the game. Sanders made a shot just after Dalton had fouled him. As a result, Sanders had a chance to score free-throws. After making the first, he intentionally missed the second, but Tyrell Nelson got the rebound and sealed the game.
