11-11-2009 23:00
After losing the previous two games, CSKA Moscow righted the ship in Week 4 by defending its home floor against the still winless Union Olimpija 79-69. The Russian champs improved to 2-2 in Group C behind 19 points from Trajan Langdon, who took sole possession of 10th place on the Euroleague’s all-time scoring list. CSKA visits Caja Laboral next week, while Olimpija seeks its first win when it hosts Lottomatica Roma.
CSKA used a strong performance on both ends of the court to open an 18-point lead in the opening moments of the second quarter and then used its veteran savvy to hold off Olimpija’s repeated attempts at a comeback.
Ramunas Siskauskas added 18 points and Viktor Khryapa filled in the playmaking hole left by the missing J.R. Holden, dishing out 8 assists in addition to scoring 10 points.
Matt Walsh once again led Olimpija with 21 points while Saso Ozbolt and Edin Bavcic added 13 and 11, respectively, in the losing effort.
