The last away game of BEKO PBL regular championship guaranteed home-court advantage in the first round of playoffs to our team. Dynamp tried hard, but did not actually resist.

Dynamo Moscow vs. CSKA: 66-87 (+21)

Jonas Kazlauskas, CSKA head coach:
We played smart. I tried to convince the players not to let the opponents to even think that they are able to win. With all the respect to Dynamo nobody will say a bad word about them in the case of loss, and this puts the pressure off them. We tried to use our strong sides, we controlled the game for most of the time with the exception of probably 3 minutes, we found open men and defended pretty good.
