Still, CSKA Moscow hit crucial shots in the closing minutes, which awarded them a 76:72 home win over Maccabi, placing both teams with a 1:1 record. The Yellow &#038; Blue held a 4 point advantage in the opening minutes of the 4th quarter; however, Will Clyburn and Mike James heated up late, hitting shots from deep and connecting from the free-throw line to secure CSKA&#8217;s first win of the season.<\/p>\n<p> \t&#8220;It was a close game, it was obvious it&#8217;ll be a close one at the end&#8221;, Said head coach Giannis Sfairopoulos at the post-game press conference. &#8220;I think both teams couldn&#8217;t establish a rhythm in the game, they were ahead of us, but we were always ready to come back. It was a good game defensively, tactically, and one enjoyable to watch. In the last period, I think we had a chance to hold a 5 point lead, but CSKA has the experience, quality, and knows how to come back&#8221;.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yellow &#038; Blue summarized the contest against Moscow.
