Led by Arnett Moultrie’s game-high 26 points, the home team used an 8-0 run midway through the 2nd quarter to build its first double-digit lead and never looked back.
Minsk was plagued by awful three-point shooting, converting only eight of 33 attempts (24%), while getting outrebounded and outscored on points from turnovers.
The Belarusians did not fold entirely, but could never get closer than seven points after Kalev’s 2nd-quarter run. Devon Saddler scored 19 and Zisis Sarikopoulos recorded a double-double in the defeat, which was Tsmoki’s ninth in a row.
