CSKA vs Dynamo Moscow Region: 106-93

The best scorer tonight was Marcus Brown with 18 points. David Andersen made second double double ina row – 15 points and 11 rebounds. Martin Muursepp added 15 points, Theodoros Papaloukas – 14.

Dynamo maximum lead happened in the first quarter – 19-15 with 2 minutes to go. But CSKA was not in the mood to let the rival go on the same way. Probably the Army club players was not ready to make the same run as they did a week ago in St.Petersburg to win the game while loosing by 17 points in the 3rd period. So this time they decided to keep on controlling the game from the start of the 2nd quarter. 3-pointers helped Dynamo to stay in the game until the last period. But in the end the guests did not have enough effort to make difficulties for the hosts in the very last minutes.

CSKA stays on the first position in the league. The first rival of the team in the play offs is not determined yet.
