Astana needed this game more than UNICS, knowing that a win would clinch a spot in the postseason. Kazan, on the other hand, had home-court advantage and wanted to finish the regular season on a high note after a disappointing loss to Lokomotiv-Kuban last week and prevailed 83-78.
The home team led by as much as nine in the first quarter and really dominated the second one, enjoying a double-digit advantage entering halftime.
Keith Langford was the leading scorer for the winners by dropping 19, while Ian Miller led the visitors with 23.
In the final game of the day, Lokomotiv beat VEF in Riga 69-80.
