The truth is that Khimki dominated, although Valencia did not lower their arms at any time, and did not give the impression of letting go, giving the face at all times (52-50), even getting to tie the light (66-66) a few minutes from the end. But just when it looked like we might have some tension on the final few moves, Khimki hit the target and made it 11-2 to seal the final.
