The game after noon

The VTB League quarterfinal series continues in Samara. Army men arrived here today by Transaero charter flight.

During the Game 2 Milos Teodosic reported pains in his left hamstring and stayed in Moscow for the tests and individual practices as well as injured Dmitry Sokolov. Therefore the away roster consists of 14 players. The game will start unusually early – at 1 pm.

“We know it will be difficult,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “It is important to defend well and to follow our usual offensive flow.”
