In the second semi-final game, Jānis Strēlnieks has two points in five minutes in the loss of Moscow “CSKA” 86:89 against “Anadolu Efes”. In the fight for the third place, the Muscovites acknowledged the superiority of the Italian team 73:83, the Talsi player played for 15 minutes, not scoring points.
In the golden game, the Turks fled 11 points after the break, the Spaniards equalized in the fourth quarter, but the leaders of “Anadolu Efes” performed better in the last minutes, and the most valuable player was Serbian defender Vasilije Micičs, who became the most productive player of the match with 25 points.

Improved indicators in almost all statistical columns, only the accuracy of long shots, which had jumped to 47 percent last year, has fallen below 40 percent this season.
Meanwhile, in two seasons, Jānis Strēlnieks has had fewer minutes than usual in the Moscow “CSKA” shirt, disturbed by injuries and the coach’s trust. 26 games in the Euroleague season, average 13 minutes and 4.4 points. In the United League, Jānis is used less – only nine matches.
Important games for Latvian basketball players – “Barcelona” will start the ACB league quarter-final against Badalona “Joventut” today, but Moscow “CSKA” will play the first United League final match against Kazan “Unics” on Saturday.
It should be noted that both “Barcelona” games in Cologne were judged by Oleg Latishev – he was entrusted with the work of the Euroleague “Final Four” for the ninth time.
