Quarter-by-quarter story
Dynamo led 24-19 after the opening period and extended the advantage slightly in the second, taking a 47-40 lead into halftime. The third quarter proved important, as the hosts won the period 22-20 to keep Khimki at arm’s length. Dynamo then closed the game with a 24-20 fourth quarter to secure the 93-80 result.
Key moments
Khimki’s best spell came in the second quarter, when the visitors found some rhythm from the perimeter and trimmed the deficit. Dynamo responded before halftime with a run of their own, then opened the second half with renewed defensive intensity. A mid-third-quarter surge pushed the lead into double digits and gave the hosts control they would not relinquish.
Tactical story
Dynamo Grozny’s physicality was the difference. The hosts dominated the rebound battle, attacked the basket aggressively, and forced Khimki into foul trouble. Offensively, Dynamo shared the ball well and punished Khimki’s defensive rotations. Khimki had moments of quality shooting but could not sustain stops on the other end, which allowed Dynamo to keep scoring at a steady rate.
Standout performers
Dynamo received balanced production from its rotation, with the frontcourt setting the tone inside and the guards managing the game effectively. Khimki Moscow Region had spells of good offensive execution, but the visitors lacked the defensive consistency needed to slow Dynamo’s momentum. The home side’s bench also provided energy and scoring support in key moments.
Season impact
The win gives Dynamo Grozny a valuable result in the Basketball Super League 1 standings and reinforces their strength at home. Khimki Moscow Region will need to regroup defensively after conceding 93 points, but the team showed enough offensive flashes to suggest it can respond in upcoming fixtures. For Dynamo, the challenge now is to build on this performance and maintain the same intensity on the road.
