MBA-MAI defeated Enisey at home – 106:102 OT (29:22, 19:21, 23:25, 21:24, 14:10).

Game progress
Long-range shots by Evgeny Voronov and Maksim Barashkov allowed MBA-MAI to take the lead in the opening quarter. But unlike the previous game, this time the hosts failed to increase the difference. The Siberian team did not allow the opponent to get further from the start and at some point even took the lead – 18:17.

But gradually the Moscow team took the initiative. Voronov and Andrey Zubkov allowed MBA-MAI to gain a double-digit advantage in the middle of the second quarter – 39:29. But even this time the guests didn’t let the opponent go. Three-pointers by Dmitry Sonko and Vladislav Perevalov allowed Enisey to cut the deficit to 5 points by halftime – 43:48.

Key moment
The Moscow team led for most of the second half, but Perevalov and Gerasimov helped Enisey take the game into overtime. The hosts rotation came to forefront. After losing almost all of bigmen due to injuries and fouls, the Siberian team couldn’t stop the opponent’s offense in the paint. Zubkov, Vladislav Trushkin and Danil Pevnev helped MBA-MAI take the lead.

At the end of the game, the Krasnoyarsk team tried to save the game with tactical fouls, but that strategy didn’t work.
