THE TAKE

Partizan will look to extend its Euroleague season for at least one more game when it hosts reigning champion CSKA Moscow in Game 3 of their best-of-five Quarterfinal Playoffs series on Tuesday night. CSKA easily won the first two games of the series by stifling the Partizan attack and dominating the glass. One more win will put head coach Ettore Messina’s squad into the Final Four for the seventh straight season. However they won’t have an easy time winning at Belgrade Arena, where Partizan set a European club basketball all-time attendance record with 22,567 fans in a win over Panathinaikos earlier this month. A similar number of supporters are expected to back the Serbian champs this time, boosting a squad that has won five straight at home. In fact Partizan has only lost once in Belgrade this season – a 62-63 defeat at the hands of CSKA in Week 5 of the regular season back in November. Head coach Dusko Vujosevic's men will welcome all the help they can get as Partizan tries to bounce back from two troubling performances. In the first two games in Moscow, Partizan shot well below its season average and it can't all be due to CSKA’s tough defense, since the Serbian champs shot just 53.2% from the charity stripe. On the other end, CSKA big man Erazem Lorbek partied in the paint to the tune of 18.5 points per game and was the MVP of Game 2 with a 33 index. Partizan will need its frontline of Slavko Vranes, Jan Vesely, Stephane Lasme, Novic Velickovic and Zarko Rakocevic rise to the occasion against Lorbek and teammates Matjaz Smodis, Terence Morris and Viktor Khryapa. The hosts will need to get more offensive production from the starting backcourt of Milenko Tepic and Aleksandar Rasic plus sixth man Uros Tripkovic against CSKA's deep perimeter rotations featuring J.R. Holden and Nikos Zisis as playmakers and Trajan Langdon and Ramunas Siskauskas on the wings. CSKA will, however, be without Zoran Planinic, who suffers from back problems. The game figures to be another defensive battle – in the four previous meetings between the teams this season, neither side had scored more than 66 before CSKA poured in 77 in the Game 2 rout. Partizan must get the production from its frontcourt on both sides of the floor that it had become accustomed to in order to increase its chances of forcing a Game 4. CSKA arrives pressure free and will look to follow the game plan that has worked so far for one more win as it looks to defend its title in Berlin. GAME NOTES Partizan Guard Uros Tripkovic has made at least one three-pointer in 16 consecutive Euroleague games. He is shooting 42.5% from downtown over that span. He ranks second in the league this season with 41 triples. Milenko Tepic's best all-around game of the season came in the regular season win over CSKA in Moscow. Tepic produced 13 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists to lead Partizan to the win. The magic number for Partizan has been 80 points. The Serbian champs have won 11 of the last 12 games in which they have scored at least 80. CSKA Moscow The best individual performance of Zoran Planinic's career came in Belgrade against Partizan. Planinic scored a career-best 30 points on 5-for-5 three-point shooting for Cibona Zagreb in an 81-76 loss at Pionir Hall in November 2001. Planinic is 1 assist away from passing Willie Solomon for sole possession of 25th place on the Euroleague Basketball career assists charts. They are currently tied with 258 career assists. Reigning Euroleague MVP Ramunas Siskauskas has made 22 consecutive free throws over his last six appearances. Sunday, March 29, 2009 Euroleague.net

Quotes Head Coaches

VUJOSEVIC, DUSKO Partizan "My team will try to conquer Game 3 with aggressive play. But if our series finished with 3-0 or even more in favour of CSKA I can say that Partizan's performance in Euroleague was excellent. First of all thanks to our players. But we are not giving up and we will give our best to continue in the competition. We were beaten twice in Moscow and my team is ready to react. We respect CSKA a lot and it would be real for them to go into semifinals but we have the right to believe."

We will try to beat CSKA in two games in Belgrade and play a decisive game. I hope we will go to Moscow again. Regarding the teams we played against in the Euroleague so far, CSKA is the strongest one. They play very tough, they've played together for years, there are so many talented players there, like Smodis, Holden, Lorbek and others. They have so many experienced players who know well how to win the game. But I do think they are not better than us."

Reigning champion CSKA Moscow returned to the Euroleague Final Four for the seventh time in as many years by finishing off a 3-0 sweep of Partizan Belgrade in the Quarterfinal Playoffs with a 56-67 victory on the road. In a do-or-die encounter for Partizan, the hosts could not take advantage of a huge crowd of 21,352 fans at Belgrade Arena. CSKA now has a chance to defend its title at the Final Four at the o2 Arena in Berlin from May 1-3 and collect its seventh Euroleague crown - and third in four seasons. The biggest lead of the first quarter was three points and Moscow had a 5-point lead in the second period. CSKA took control of the game with a 1-9 run to close the third quarter for a 38-52 lead and Partizan would not get closer than 8 points the rest of the way. Ramunas Siskauskas paced the champs with 20 points, shooting 10 for 10 from the lien to extend his successful free-throw shooting streak to 32. Matjaz Smodis added 18 points and Erazem Lorbek netted 10. Novica Velickovic paced Partizan with a career-high 26 points. Siskauskas opened the game with the first basket for the guests and Velickovic knotted the score with a hook shot in the lane. After Trajan Langdon's jumper for the defending champs, Velickovic put back an offensive rebound to make it 4-4. Petar Bozic then connected on a triple as Partizan pulled ahead 7-4. CSKA head coach Ettore Messina immediately called a timeout to get his troops to play better defense. Belgrade had already scored more points after a little more than three minutes than in either of its first two first quarters of the games in Moscow. Out of the timeout, Siskauskas found Lorbek for a mid-range jumper. Milenko Tepic's long jumper made it 9-6 before Smodis's long two-pointer from the left wing and Lorbek's layup pushed Moscow back ahead 9-10. The CSKA defense held Partizan scoreless for four straight possessions until Jan Vesely's tough jumper in the lane to make it 11-10. Viktor Khryapa found Siskauskas for an easy basket to give Moscow back the lead before Zarko Rakocevic made one of two foul shots to even things at 12-12. Siskauskas's two free throws were matched by Slavko Vranes's tip-in and Lorbek's foul shot gave CSKA a 14-15 lead after one period. Stephane Lasme's foul shot started the second quarter and evened the game again at 15-15. Moscow regained the lead on Nikos Zisis's jumper from the right wing and the margin was 5 points on Langdon's three-pointer. The game grew even more intense and both offenses struggled to convert. Partizan's main choice at the offensive end was Velickovic, whose 2 foul shots made it 17-20. Lorbek found a cutting Smodis to reestablish the 5-point advantage before Velickovic knocked down a triple from the right wing. Smodis answered with a three from the right side of his own for a 20-25 cushion. Velickovic continued his assault with a short jumper from the left side and then drained a triple from the right wing to cut the margin to 25-27. Siskauskas's step-back jumper made it a 4-point game but Velickovic dished the ball to Aleksandar Rasic for a three-pointer from the right side again and Partizan was within 28-29. Smodis, though, got an easy layup off a Langdon pass and J.R. Holden made 2 free throws with 5 seconds left in the first half to give the guests a 28-33 lead at the break. Siskauskas’s mid-range jumper started the second half and Lorbek followed with a reverse layup as CSKA upped the lead to 28-37. Velickovic finally got the hosts on the scoreboard with a steal and breakaway dunk, but Lorbek's free throws put the reigning champs back up 9 points. Velickovic put back an offensive rebound and Rasic drained a triple from the right wing to cut the gap to 35-41. And it was 37-43 after Vesely's free throws. But CSKA stepped up its defense and allowed just 1 free throw over the final six possessions for Belgrade. Smodis knocked down a triple from the top of the key and then found Khryapa for an easy dunk and Moscow made 4 foul shots in a 1-9 push to close the quarter and lead 38-52 after three periods. Partizan grabbed a number of offensive rebounds on its first possession but was unable to convert. The hosts were however able to hit the first basket on Velickovic's break away layup after a Cedomir Vitkovac steal. And the lead was into single digits, 43-52, on Tepic's three-ball from the left wing. Moscow finally got on the scoreboard after nearly four minutes played on Langdon's tough jumper. Velickovic's two layups cut the deficit to 49-57 with four minutes left in the game. But Holden nailed a critical three-pointer from the left wing to push the lead back to 11 points - 49-60. It was still an 11-point game after Vesely's hook off an offensive rebound and Siskauskas's 2 foul shots. Partizan refused to go down without a fight as Tepic drained a triple from the left side. But Smodis and Siskauskas combined to make 5 of 6 free throws down the stretch and send the champs to Berlin for a chance to defend the crown. Tuesday, March 31, 2009 Euroleague.net

Head Coaches

VUJOSEVIC, DUSKO Partizan "We've had excellent results in the Euroleague so far. We managed to beat even stronger teams than us, but we were defeated in the end. CSKA is a team of extreme quality with a great coach and experienced players. We were out of concentration. I think we could have played better in these three games. But one thing that makes me happy is that the players improved during the season. There is no free school and the best basketball school is the Euroleague."

MESSINA, ETTORE CSKA Moscow "It was very tough game tonight. My players were brave and they played with heart all the way. This is the seventh time we’ve reached Final Four and we are very happy about that. I wish luck to Partizan. It is a real big thing to go to the Final Four. There we play our game - defense and rebounding."

SMODIS, MATJAZ CSKA Moscow "It was great night tonight. The most important thing is that we controlled the rebounding all 40 minutes. I was in shape. Partizan was close to us all the way and I think their fans are the best. We struggled hard in all three games with Partizan. We started the series hard and each ball was so important to us. That was the key to our win."
