Playing in front of a sold-out Molot Arena, Khimki pulled away in the second half for a 37-point win. Thomas Robinson led the visitors with 17 points, while Parma guard Frank Gaines scored a game-high 22.

The home team fed off the crowd’s energy in the opening minutes, leading 14-12 midway through the 1st quarter on a Miller-McIntyre 3-pointer.

Alexey Shved and Viacheslav Zaitcev responded for the visitors, drilling a pair of triples to end the period, putting Khimkin on top, 24-19.

Parma kept threatening in the 2nd. Miller-McIntyre had several big shots and Konstantin Bulanov knocked down a jumper to put the underdogs ahead, 38-36, with less than four minutes remaining in the half.

There would be no fairy-tale ending, however. Moscow Region ended the 2nd quarter on a 13-2 run.
