A 0-12 run that Malcolm Delaney capped with a jumper gave Bayern a 27-32 edge, but Weems and Jeremy Pargo helped CSKA restore a 38-34 edge at halftime.

CSKA was held scoreless for more than four minutes until Pargo buried a three-pointer. Robin Benzing shined with a big basket in penetration, which Weems bettered with a catch-and-shoot triple to make it 33-34.

Krstic dunked, but Taylor answered with a fast break basket. A layup by Jackson made it an 11-point game. Krstic sank a six-meter jumper and a three-pointer by Micov broke the game open, 59-43.

Delaney struck from downtown, but a huge slam by Hines sealed the outcome, 77-64, with three minutes to go. Bayern never gave up, but CSKA had cruised to a well-deserved win.

Head Coaches

MESSINA, ETTORE
CSKA Moscow
" The game was different in comparison to the one we played in Munich. They had their very good guard Djedovic back after injury and, vice versa, we lost Teodosic. We got nervous in the first half because of poor shooting percentages, but played an excellent third quarter. It does not happen so often that the team turns a very difficult game into a big lead. We had obvious problems against pressure and had trouble finding a shot, but our work continues. "
PESIC, SVETISLAV
FC Bayern Munich
"We cannot be unhappy with our game tonight. I think we represented ourselves in Moscow the way we wanted. Congratulations to CSKA, they played very strong defense throughout all game. The third quarter was a decisive one, we had some turnovers but I cannot say anything bad about my players. They were fighting and in parts of the game they demonstrated excellent basketball."

Players

WEEMS, SONNY
CSKA Moscow
"To me it’s really no matter what kind of point difference we have. We should play in the Final Four. It is the main goal we must be worried about to finish the Top 16 as strong team. We have a very deep team, each person can do something to hit the goal. "
THOMPSON, DEON
FC Bayern Munich
"It was a tough game. We were running too much in the third quarter and I think that really separated us in the game. We tried to battle back in the third and we also had a lot of turnovers. In the second half CSKA did a great job of taking advantage of our turnovers."
