PHASE PAGES, Quarterfinal Playoffs 2006-07
EB PlayoffsThe Quarterfinal Playoffs matchups provided all the drama expected and more, even though only half the series went the full three games. Tau Ceramica and Panathinaikos won big at home and held on in Game 2s on the road to become the first teams to book their spots in Athens, eliminating Olympiacos and Dynamo, respectively. The series between the past two champs, CSKA Moscow and Maccabi Elite, resulted in three one-sided victories for the home teams, as CSKA advanced in three games after a strong showing from Theo Papaloukas. The most drama was seen in Spain, where Unicaja bested domestic rival Barcelona on a Pepe Sanchez triple in the last seconds of Game 3.
