In what turned out to be a really close contest CSKA Moscow got the 88-83 win over Anadolu Efes and remains in the race for the home court advantage in the play offs, while Efes will have to fight until the end to qualify.
Playing without Andrei Kirilenko, but behind 20 points and 9 assists by Milos Teodosic, CSKA managed to prevail, despite the fact that Efes made it a three points game (84-81) with 38 seconds to go after a three by Dontaye Draper. Nando De Colo answered with a two, Thomas Heurtel missed a big three and the game was practically over.
Efes had a very good start with a 13-4 run after the first four minutes, had a 27-21 lead after the first quarter, but CSKA led by four by halftime (43-39) and never missed the lead again. With this win, CSKA secured a spot in the play offs.
