CSKA – Lokomotiv: 106-59

CSKA returned to the parquet in the changing look: Papaloukas as playmaker, Khryapa as small forward, Savrasenko as center. In the middle of the quarter Turkcan and Brown went to the bench. Till 3 minutes to the big rest our team made 16-2 spurt. CSKA finished this quarter with advantage in 19 points: 56-37.
