Game #2. Series comes back to Moscow

Maccabi shut CSKA in the defense, Ettore Messina team did not manage to come back after being down by 20 plus points in the 3rd quarter.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv – CSKA: 68-56

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

- I want to congratulate Maccabi with the win. They really deserve the win. I said from the very beginning of the series that it would be very hard to end this series in two games for any team. CSKA surprised the rival in Moscow, Maccabi did it in Tel Aviv. Neven Spahija used less players in the rotation. And there were some other small changes. We should re-group to the next game in Moscow next week.
