The second game period started with a mini-move of the Kiev team at 5:0: Malich’s three-pointer and another accurate shot by Klevzunik forced Zaporozhye to look for non-standard solutions. Matthews went above and beyond for the guests; scored a great dunk in this part of the game, but Kiev-Basket completely controlled the course of events on the field and entered the big break with a serious advantage: 48:34.

The third quarter was the least productive period of this match: The teams scored 21 points between themselves, but Zaporozhye failed to turn the game around.
