Finalists Get a Day’s Rest

After playing two consecutive days, the CSKA players got a short rest. The break meant only an evening practice for the team. Tomorrow morning they will have a walk-through in the main arena, and at 23:00 Moscow time they will play in the Champions Cup final against Skipper, which didn’t lose in the earlier rounds, either. The game will be shown live on RTR-Sport.


And today, in the final group games of the tournament, Unicaja, Red Star, Barcelona and Panathinaikos played.
