Standart Togliatti - CSKA: 61-105
The trip to the game was in some ways harder then the match itself. The bus provided by Standart looked like a right transportation for the refugees but not for the Euroleague champions. ‘I guess there is something in the Napoli idea of taking the underground’, - mentioned Ettore Messina during 30 minutes trip to the arena.
