[quote name='"Vilius":5163e']That's the type of basketball I don't like. Malaga could have challenged for the win but they missed so many shots. While CSKA seem to control their play very well. They relaxed a bit and Malaga equalised the score but then they sart playing their usual basketball and they have 10 points lead again.



The second semi will be different in my opinion.[/quote]

I would like that too, for basketball's sake, but i'm afraid that if the match goes to high scoring Panathinaikos will have less chances, so i hope for a slow tempo, with good and planned attacks.

As i predicted, Panathinaikos took the match to slow tempo and made it easy.
