A good third quarter and a tour de force by Nando De Colo who scored 35 points were enough for CSKA Moscow against Avtodor Saratov.

The final score was 110-98 in a game which was all about offense as the VTB United League leaders now have a 15-2 record, but Unics Kazan remains at the top with 14-1.

De Colo needed just 25 minutes and made 11 out of 17 shots for his 35 points which is also a career high. His best EuroLeague performance is 30 points in the recent game against Valencia. Will Clyburn added 24 points and while CSKA Moscow‘s defense was not clicking, everything else worked. Meanwhile, both Othello Hunter and Kyle Hines played for coach Dimitris Itoudis and the “Army Team” is back in full force.

Coty Clarke with 21 points and Justin Robinson with 18 kept Saratov close until the third quarter. The hosts have now an 8-7 record and dropped to the 6th spot in the standings, behind Khimki Moscow Region.
