Kostanay «Tobol» became the last rival of the basketball club «Astana» in the season of the National League, which could not compete with the capital team. In this match, our coaching staff, in addition to the Kazakhstani players, gave a chance to Michael Thompson and Adonis Thomas to play.

Vadim Shcherbak opened the score, but the hosts took the lead in the next attack. The game started with a constant change of a leader, but then our team began to gain a tangible advantage. In the middle of the period, Dmitry Gavrilov brought the difference in the score to six points, and then, after an accurate three-pointer from Adonis Thomas,  “Astana” doubled the score compared to the rivals. In the next attack, Robert Pan increased it to a double-digit lead for the capital team. The Kostanay team tried to close the gap, but could not cope with the double-digit lag. The last two effective attacks in the first quarter remained with our team — Rustam Murzagaliev and Maxim Marchuk implemented their attempts. As a result, after the first ten minutes of the game, “Astana” won 15 points — 16:31. At the beginning of the second quarter, the game was held on equal terms, with the difference in the score jumping between 11 and 18 points. From the equator of the period to the end of the first half of the match, the points for our team were brought solely by imports Michael Thompson and Adonis Thomas. The teams left for the long break with the same difference as in the middle of the second period — 16 points with a score of 41:57.

After a swap of the sides, the advantage of “Astana” continued to increase by Thompson and Thomas, and it was Adonis who brought our team's advantage to twenty points. The next three attacks were implemented by Dmitry Gavrilov, and in the middle of the period, Rustam Murzagaliev hit the glass from a long distance. However, the hosts also implemented their attacks, but this was enough only to prevent our team from breaking away even further. By the middle of the third period, “Astana” had a very comfortable advantage of 23 points, and the final score in the quarter was set by Michael Thompson — 60:85. Few doubted that our team would win this game too. It was practically impossible for the hosts to win back 25 points in ten minutes with such a game pattern, especially since our team scored a good move and confidently went to the next hundred in the season. After an effective exchange of shots at the start of the fourth quarter, “Tobol” made a small breakthrough and their gap decreased, becoming less than twenty points. But then our team responded and regained their previous advantage, exceeding twenty points. In the middle of the period, Anton Ponomarev brought the capital handicap very close to thirty points, and the total score to a hundred. In the next attack, after Maxim Marchuk shot, the difference between the teams exceeded 30 points, and Astana's score finally exceeded one hundred points. In the last five minutes, “Astana” continued to gain points, and as a result, our team reached the record in the season, which they themselves set in the match against “Kaspiy” in November, and won a landslide victory — 82: 110.

On account of Dmitry Gavrilov — 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 block shots. Rustam Murzagaliev scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Maxim Marchuk has 14 points, and Adonis Thomas and Anton Ponomarev earned 12 points each, and Anton also made 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

Consequences: “Astana”, in fact, has already secured access to the final part of the tournament, and “Tobol” is even further behind the playoff zone.
