Travis Hansen and Darjus Lavrinovic brought Dynamo within 41-45 at halftime. Dynamo managed to tie the game at 51-51, but Milan Macvan led a 2-13 run as Hemofarm built a 60-70 lead after 30 minutes. A big basket by Macvan gave Hemofarm its biggest lead, 60-72. Robertas Javtokas, Bostjan Nachbar and Hansen led Dynamo's comeback in the fourth quarter and a triple by Brian Chase got his team within 79-81, but a clutch three by Pavkovic and a layup-plus-foul by Krstovic sealed the outcome down the stretch.
