CSKA vs Dynamo Moscow: 92-88

The start roster of CSKA didn`t changed. Marcus Brown started the game very well, he was good at the any position. In Dynamo ex-guard of CSKA Nikolay Padius was very good in the first minutes. He came to Dynamo not long time ago, but in this game Chomicius put him to the start squad. In the first quarter Nikolay managed 9 points.

Then Mirsad Turkcan, J.R. Holden and Sergey Monya managed the score to 32-25 after the second quarter. At this moment Teodoros Papaloukas played like a capitan, he was good both in the defense and in the rebounds. Under the basket Alexey Savrasenko showed good play. Jefferson from Dynamo didn`t feel game, and Chomicius substituted him.

After the big rest the situation has changed. May be the Army team was shure in the win, may be Chomicius sayd somethink to his team, who knows. But our opponents won this quarter 25-13. The best player in the second half of the game was Nikolas Ikonomu, who became the best sniper of the game (29 points). The score was 86-84 till the minute to the final buzzer. But in the last 60 seconds the Army team was better and they won 92-88.
