The first minutes went a little better for the hosts - Astana took the initiative and was able to break away a little, but MBA quickly stopped the Kazakhs, responded with a 13-0 spurt and had “+9” at the end of the opening quarter.
In the second ten minutes, our guys continued to strengthen their advantage and at a certain period they ran ahead by 17 points, and went into the locker room with a rather comfortable “+13” - 41:28.
After a long break, Astana went on a new chase, got to -10 and forced Vasily Karasev to take an early timeout to shake up his team. The intervention worked - the red and white immediately regained their comfortable advantage with two “threes” in a row and held it almost until the end of the third ten minutes. By the end of half an hour, the hosts again got a little closer and stopped at the “-11” mark.
Despite all the attempts of the Kazakh people to get out of the double-digit deficit, the difference never became less than 10. Moreover, in a short minute before the siren, MBA brought the advantage to a maximum of 22 points and calmly brought the match to victory. The final score is 76:54.
