Titán Volgograd defeated Dynamo MGU 69-61 in the Russian Cup on Tuesday evening. The victory came at home for the hosts, who had won their previous fixture 93-75 against Южный Слон.
Dynamo MGU arrive in second place from their three matches so far. Their most recent outing was a 74-64 loss to Локомотив Кубань 2 on Monday, following a heavier defeat to Южный Слон earlier in the tournament.
The result extends Titán Volgograd's momentum after their high-scoring win last night. Dynamo MGU, meanwhile, have been inconsistent in recent outings, with victories against Саратов 2 but losses to stronger opposition.
The two-point margin suggests a tight contest throughout. Dynamo MGU's away form will be scrutinised after failing to secure a away win in their Cup campaign so far.
The standings shift slightly with this result. Dynamo MGU remain second but now face pressure to improve their away record if they are to progress further in the competition.
