In the game which became special for both teams there were no spectacular basketball but enough of fight and emotions. CSKA controlled the game and qualified for the VTB League semifinal.

Krasnye Krylia vs. CSKA: 56-69 (+13)

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
It was a difficult game especially taking into account how we played in the previous one and the loss of Sonny Weems in addition to Milos Teodosic. We managed to play defense as good as the day before but improved our offense thanks to better ball movement; we got the lead and controlled the game. Congratulations to Krasnye Krylia for having a good season. As for us we start our preparations to the series against Khimki.
