Three straight baskets by Victor Keyru and the lead was again 29-46. Kazan was ahead 34-46 at the break. Tirksay started the third with two foul shots and scored six points as Unics began the second half on a 4-13 surge to grab a 38-59 advantage.

But Chikalkin and Marko Tusek drained three-balls and Stanescu converted a three-point play in using a 2-13 surge to pull away once and for good.
