Partizan Belgrade vs. CSKA: 71-76 OT (+5)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
An amazing game; both teams gave their best. Partizan played excellent defense for all 45 minutes with the exceptions of those periods when we had our shooting big men on the floor - Erceg and Vorontsevich in the first half, Erceg and Khryapa in the end. We were spreading the floor and getting the opportunities to penetrate. I cannot be happy after the 26 turnovers we had, but it is so important we won the game after letting the 10-point lead fly out of our hands. At the end of regulation we decided to defend instead of making a foul. We forced them to miss the last shot.
