CSKA Moscow edged Darussafaka at home (79-75) and claimed their third straight victory to remain on top of the standings (3-0).

CSKA Moscow responded, though, and went on a 26-10 run to earn a nine-point lead at the end of the third quarter (57-48). The Turks didn’t give up and cut the deficit to four (76-72), but the Muscovites stood tall and sealed the deal.

Michael Eric and Stanton Kidd had 15 points apiece for the losing squad, with Ray McCallum contributing 14 points.
