The game did not mean anything for standings but it appeared to be one of the most spectacular this week. Olympiacos and CSKA battled until the very end.

Olympiacos: Johnson-Odom (7), Hunter (11 + 4 rb), Papapetrou (4 + 5 rb + 4 to), Spanoulis (17 + 7 as + 4 pf), Strawberry (3 rb), Milutinov (6 + 3 rb), Agravanis (8 + 6 rb + 4 pf), Mantzaris (12 + 3 rb + 5 pf), Warrick (2), Hackett (6 + 4 as + 3 to), Lojeski (18 + 3 rb), Papanikolaou (5 + 3 rb + 5 pf)…

CSKA: De Colo (20 + 4 rb + 4 as + 3 st), Teodosic (13 + 8 as + 3 st + 3 to), Fridzon (11), Nichols (5 + 4 pf), Jackson (13), Lazarev (4 + 5 pf), Vorontsevich (10), Higgins (5 + 3 to + 4 pf), Kurbanov (11 + 6 rb), Hines (7 + 9 rb + 4 pf)…



Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
The team deserved to be congratulated. We secured playoff spot with 3 games to play, we got home-court advantage later and won the first spot in the group finally. The game had no meaning for the standings though both teams fought until the end. We started from controlling the game but in thesecond and especially in the third quarter Olympiacos created a lot of problems for us. In the last quarter we defended better, we switched correctly and used our chances.
