Favorite basketball spots: ALBA's Malte Delow
Thiemann opened the scoring for the hosts, who added two more scores and were leading 6-0 thanks to three early CSKA turnovers. Shved finally got CSKA on the board with a jumper after more than 2 minutes. Lo hit a three-pointer at the other end to push his output to seven points and a 13-5 ALBA lead. The guests started getting some stops and scored more consistently with Clyburn throwing down a dunk and draining a triple, and Iffe Lundberg knotted the game 19-19 on a three-point play. Joel Bolomboy gave CSKA its first lead 19-21 with two free throws, and ALBA was down 21-23 after 10 minutes.
Marius Grigonis’ free throws opened the second quarter, but the hosts found their rhythm with Eriksson draining two three-pointers and Lo scoring yet again in a 15-6 surge to pull ahead, 36-31. CSKA used the long ball to get back into the game with Grigonis, Shved and Voigtmann all hitting triples and Shengelia added six points in building a 43-48 gap. ALBA closed that immediately with five quick points from Yovel Zoosman, including a dunk at the buzzer to send the teams into the break even at 48-48.
Clyburn opened the second half with a three-pointer but Eriksson punched right back from the outside. Lo assisted on that shot as he began to really take control with a three-pointer, a layup and an assist on Ben Lammers’ dunk for a 58-51 lead. Lo added two more triples and ALBA was up 65-58 midway through the quarter. Tamir Blatt took over the scoring for ALBA while Voigtmann responded with five points including a three-pointer to get within 73-69 after 30 minutes.
Shved started the final frame and Lundberg followed to give CSKA the lead, 73-74. Eriksson answered with a three-pointer only to see Voigtmann knock down back-to-back triples and the guests were up 76-80. The long balls continued to fall with Thiemann and Lo tying it up, 82-82, inside the final 5 minutes. Shengelia produced two big layups and Clyburn hit from deep, before Da Silva turned the ball over and Hackett made him pay with a jumper and CSKA was up 84-91 with 96 seconds to play. Da Silva tried to make amends with a three-pointer and Thiemann added a free throw with 39 seconds remaining to make it 88-91. Shengelia missed a three-pointer but CSKA gained the offensive rebound only for Voigtmann to commit a turnover with 13 seconds left. After two free throws from Lo made it 90-91, Shved added two from the line with 6.7 seconds to play, and Da Silva and Eriksson both missed three-pointers to try to force overtime.
