The teams started the game without a swing - both of them attacking with a good percentage. After the opening spurt of the MBA, the game was equal, and by the end of the first quarter, Samara already had a five-point lead.
With two goals at the start of the second ten minutes, our team regained the lead, but it was not for long - at the equator of the period, Samara ran seven points ahead. Both teams aggressively attacked from the long distance, and by halftime they had completed 11 three-point attempts. The red-whites were slightly more successful in this aspect, but Samara took 11 rebounds on their side in the first half. That's why the home team went to the locker room up by 10 points.
At the beginning of the second half, Samara extended its lead to 15 points. The MBA then chased, but Makar Konovalov led the charge, and the others didn't fall behind.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, Evgeny Voronov gave our team the lead, but the home team immediately regained it, and the chase continued. The red-whites had several more opportunities to catch up the opponent, but they could not do so - the game ended in the opponent's favor. MBA conceded in Samara and ended the season. The final score was 77-85.
