THE TAKE

After becoming the first Group C team to reach the Top 16 last week, CSKA Moscow will look to climb a step higher in its battle for first place when it hosts rival Maccabi Electra in the Russian capital on Thursday. The two teams are tied with Caja Laboral for the top spot at 5-2, but one will have to drop back this week. CSKA has reeled off four straight wins – three by double-figure margins – since falling 71-54 at Maccabi in November. An awful long-range shooting night (3 for 21) and 24 turnovers doomed the Russian champs that night. However head coach Evgeny Pashutin’s men have turned things around since then and are averaging more than 20 points per game more than they scored in Tel Aviv. The biggest difference in the CSKA lineup in recent weeks has been the insertion of center Sasha Kaun to the starting five, where he has blossomed. Kaun teams with Dmitry Sokolov to give CSKA two big bodies to bang with inside, while the versatile Viktor Khryapa stands out at power forward. Maccabi will look to shot-blocker D’Or Fischer, the bruising Yaniv Green and low-post scorer Maciej Lampe to get the job done against Kaun and co., while the athletic Stephane Lasme matches up well with Khryapa. Maccabi can also use sharpshooter David Bluthenthal at power forward to draw Khryapa outside and prevent him from helping on defense. Both teams feature their best scorers on the wings. CSKA relies on Trajan Langdon and Euroleague MVP Ramunas Siskauskas with Anton Ponkrashov growing into an increased role off the bench. Maccabi counters with the athletic Alan Anderson and all-around threat Chuck Eidson, who has been in great form recently, while the feisty Guy Pnini brings intensity and three-point shooting off the bench. CSKA has two game-changing weapons at point guard in veteran J.R. Holden and tall playmaker Zoran Planinic. Andrew Wisniewski, who is familiar with the surroundings after playing in Russia last year, starts for Maccabi with the explosive Doron Perkins, who often saves his best stuff for the second half of games, is an ideal compliment off the bench. One key stat to keep an eye on is rebounding: Maccabi is the No. 1 defensive rebounding side in the competition and CSKA is last in offensive rebounding. This game promises 40 minutes of passion and intensity from two teams that know each other well and know how much this victory could mean to the rest of the season.

Quotes Head Coaches

PASHUTIN, EVGENY CSKA Moscow "Maccabi is a well-disciplined, athletic team. Coach Pini Gershon always implemented fast basketball with different types of defenses – switching, zone. Our main goal is to play disciplined defense and not to let Maccabi score on easy baskets. Our defense wasn’t bad in Tel Aviv as we allowed 71 points only, but we played poorly offensively. Now we are improving game by game, we are demonstrating better team basketball, our team chemistry is better. And we are approaching the game against Maccabi especially attentively. We want to play good defense again and to play more focused, organized offense."

GERSHON, PINI Maccabi Electra "Everybody knows by now that the CSKA Moscow we beat in Tel Aviv in the first round isn't the same team we will meet on Thursday. They have glued together and made some small adjustments that show a totally different face of the team. We will need to find answers to their backcourt and stay focused on the rebound to allow them as few possible chances to score. If we make as few turnovers as we did last week, we'll be in a very good position, but just like last week it might not be enough. We'll need to execute our game plan to the max to get this victory. Maccabi has had some big days and big wins in Moscow, but every game has a different story. This one is more difficult than the one we had last week in Tel Aviv and lost, which means we'll have to play much better in order to win. Last week we missed a chance to make our lives easier in this group, so we need to step up and fix it. We go there to win, clear and simple, and every player on the team knows what this game means to the team as a whole and to them as individuals."

We can get this win, which is very important for us, and separate ourselves again from CSKA."

The Russian champs visit Union Olimpija in their next game after the winter break before a showdown with group co-leader Caja Laboral in Week 10.

Eidson sank a mid-range jumper, but a Langdon sandwiched a pair of threes around a Khryapa bucket to build a commanding 14-4 lead. Maccabi head coach Pini Gershon shook things up by pulling his starting backcourt of Wisniewski and Guy Pnini for Doron Perkins and Alan Anderson, hoping to find someone to stop Langdon, but it did not work as Langdon sank his third three of the night to cap an 11-0 run. Eidson answered from downtown for Maccabi, only for Khryapa to lob Planinic to keep the hosts cruising. J.R. Holden came off the bench and drilled a three and Khryapa found Kaun for another slam as the CSKA lead reached 15. Maciej Lampe scored for the visitors, but Maccabi could not gain any momentum.

Khryapa sank a pair of free throws nearly three minutes into the third quarter to end the drought, but Eidson got a roll as his jumper fell. Khryapa and Langdon both netted free throws to increase the CSKA cushion to 6. Pnini responded from downtown and on the next play drew a foul while shooting a three, sank 2 free throws and made it a 2-point game.

Head Coaches

PASHUTIN, EVGENY CSKA Moscow "A game of this level is a jewel for the Euroleague. The fans saw the battle of CSKA, who played last four final games and Maccabi which opposed to our team in two of those games. We thought that we won too early and allowed our opponent to get back into the game. When you score one easy basket after another you begin to think that your opponent gave up already. And the team stopped playing defense. Maccabi has a number of great scorers who come from the bench and they scored 3 three-pointers to get back on track. If we were able to defend and to keep 20-point difference at the break, I think the opponent could not compete. In the third and fourth quarters our visitors played zone, and in the end, after losing Khryapa we took a risk of playing Siskauskas at four. And we succeeded. First they did not get help from the power forward position and second, Ramunas scored 4 key free throws in the end."

GERSHON, PINI Maccabi Electra "We expected a tough game here as usual. We started badly allowing CSKA to control offensive rebounds and we turned the ball over too much. But in the second quarter we started to play better defense, took over control of the game and were able to get close after trailing by 21 points. It was very important to take right decisions in the end – both for players and referees – but we took two wrong decisions and got two wrong calls. After the first quarter we tried not to let Kaun catch the ball inside and if he did get the ball – not to let him score easily. And you can see that CSKA had 6 offensive rebounds in the first period and only rebound after that."
