The final score of the first match (92-76) does not tell the truth about what happened in Moscow last Wednesday. CSKA had to try harder in the last 10 minutes and win the 4th quarter 28-10 to dominate the opening game of the series. We shall remind you that the team that will reach three wins first will qualify to the Final 4 of the Euroleague in Cologne.
The “army team” was led by Will Clyburn (20 points), Hackett (20 points, 4/5 three’s) and Voigtmann (12 points, 10 rebounds). With Milutinov consistently out of action due to injury, coach Itoudis has another headache today, as useful tall Bolomboy is doubtful. However, Itoudis’s team is lucky since Fener is in Moscow with some significant absences as well.
If the Turks were to play with a full roster, the game would most likely be decided in details. In fact, Fener played the first game with seven players only; Ulanovas, Dixon, Pierre, Eddie (covid – 19), and injured Vesely did not play! Even coach Igor Kokoskov has not travelled to Moscow, and the team is guided through this crucial series of games by his assistant coaches. De Colo (27 points), Guduric (11 points, 3/4 3-pointers), Brown (11 points), and O’ Quinn (11 points) fought until the end of Game 1, but they couldn’t make it all the way.
