Αν και σαφώς βελτιωμένος σε σχέση με το ματς της Τρίτης, ο Παναθηναϊκός ηττήθηκε και στο δεύτερο αγώνα της σειράς από την ΤΣΣΚΑ με 100-80. Δε βγαίνουν τα κουκιά για τους πράσινους, καθώς η Ρώσικη ομάδα είναι σαφώς ποιοτικά ανώτερη. Και το παιχνίδι της ζωής του να κάνει ο Παναθηναϊκός, η διαφορά ποιότητας στο ρόστερ των δύο ομάδων και αγωνιστική τους εικόνα, σου δίνουν την εντύπωση πως δεν μπορεί να την κερδίσει.
Φυσικά, διαφορετικό θα είναι το ματς στο ΟΑΚΑ. Εκεί ο Παναθηναϊκός θα πρέπει να επιβάλλει τους δικούς του νόμους και προσπαθήσει τουλάχιστον να πάρει τη νίκη στο 3ο ματς για να ελπίζει. Αν και η ΤΣΣΚΑ δείχνει πως εύκολα μπορεί να κάνει ένα διπλό. Ας ελπίσουμε τουλάχιστον να μην γίνει στο επόμενο!
Η ΤΣΣΚΑ σουτάροντας με υψηλά ποσοστά σε δίποντα (69%) και τρίποντα (52%), "σκότωσε" τον Παναθηναϊκό σε κάθε αδυναμία του στην αμυντική του λειτουργία.
Ο Παναθηναϊκός βοηθήθηκε αρκετά αυτή τη φορά από το Φώτση (12 π. - 5 ρ.), αλλά και τις σταθερές αξίες Γκιστ (ουσιαστικά έπαιζε μόνος του στο 4ο δεκάλεπτο) και Μπατίστα στους ψηλούς. Οι Παππάς και Γιάνκοβιτς βοήθησαν και αυτοί από την περιφέρεια. Μεγάλη έκπληξη η εξαιρετική εμφάνιση του Χαραλαμπόπουλου με 14 πόντους και απόλυτη ευστοχία (3/3 δίπ. - 2/2 τριπ. - 2/2 βολές). Μπλουμς και Νέλσον ανεπαρκείς για ακόμα μια φορά.

First quarter: Kirilenko rescues CSKA
Vasilis Charalampopoulos got Panathinaikos going with a backdoor layup, which Sasha Kaun erased with a close basket. Panathinaikos slowed down the game tempo in the opening minutes with long possessions and by powering the boards. Charalampopoulos scored again before a layup by Sonny Weems tied it. CSKA kept struggling to score and a layup by Vlantimir Giankovits gave the Greens a 4-6 lead. After Milos Teodosic sank a five-meter jumper, Esteban Batista quickly answered with a second-chance layup. A dunk by Kaun tied it at 8-8. Charalampopoulos struck from downtown and Giankovits copied him right after that as CSKA fans started to wonder at 8-14. Kirilenko buried a three-pointer and a free throw by Kaun got CSKA within 2. Kirilenko nailed two more shots from beyond the arc to give CSKA a 18-14 lead. De Colo beat the buzzer with a stop-and-pop, eight-meter bomb to give CSKA a 21-14 lead after 10 minutes.
Second quarter: Hosts settle in
De Colo shined with a big basket in the low post early in the quarter, which capped a 15-0 run. Nikos Pappas tried to change things with a close jumper and a wild driving layup to keep Panathinaikos within 23-18. After Kyle Hines scored around the basket, James Gist made free throws. A step-back jumper by De Colo gave CSKA a 27-20 lead. Manuchar Markoishvili made free throws, which Dimitris Diamantidis bettered with a triple - his first points in the series. De Colo improved on Batista's layup with a bomb from downtown and fed Demetris Nichols for a layup in transition that set a 34-25 CSKA advantage. Batista scored again, but Markoishvili downed a three-pointer. Free throws by Antonis Fotsis kept the Greens within 37-29. Teodosic joined the three-point shootout. Batista banked in a close shot only to see Nichols give the hosts a 41-31 edge. Batista hit free throws and Fotsis scored down low, but Kirilenko followed a layup with a dunk and De Colo beat the buzzer again for a 47-35 score at halftime.
Third quarter: CSKA continues to cruise
Panathinaikos circulated the ball well to find Giankovits wide open for a triple from the corner. Kaun answered with a layup and Kirilenko buried another three-pointer to keep CSKA out of trouble at 52-38. Charalampopoulos scored off a midcourt steal, but Kaun found space for an uncontested dunk and a layup by De Colo made it a 16-point game. Gist split free throws, however a three-pointer by Andrey Vorontsevich broke the game open at 59-41. Diamantidis beat the shot clock buzzer with a bomb from downtown and Loukas Mavrokefalidis followed with a layup. Teodosic found Hines for a wild alley-oop slam. Charalampopoulos hit free throws, but a three-pointer by Weems boosted the hosts' lead to 66-48. A fast break layup by Aaron Jackson caused the Greens to call timeout down 20. Markoishvili and Nichols struck from downtown but back-to-back triples by Fotsis fixed the score at 72-54.
Fourth quarter: Hosts wrap it up early
Jackson shined with a driving layup early in the quarter and found Markoishvili for an easy basket that sealed the outcome, 76-54, with nine minutes left. A layup-plus-foul by an unstoppable Weems soon made it a 25-point game. Jankovic hit a six-meter jumper, but Weems improved it with a three-pointer and added a fast break slam for a 84-56 CSKA advantage with over seven minutes left. Weems scored again before Fotsis stepped up with a backdoor layup and Gist got the Greens a bit closer, 86-64. Pavel Korobkov shocked the crowd with a dunk-and-foul. Gist answered with a slam, but everything was clear by that point.
