Stunning victory for the Reds in Moscow

Olympiakos stunned Europe on Wednesday defeating Euroleague holder CSKA in Moscow, while Panathinaikos went down to CSKA's neighbor Khimki, also in Russia, on Tuesday.

The Piraeus team went into the match in Moscow with a 1-3 record, poor performances and question marks hanging over many players' future. However it somehow managed to upset CSKA and win 94-89, beating the Russian giant in its own game of relentless attack as well as collecting more rebounds than its host in the process.

The slow start for Olympiakos gave way to an excellent second period (partial score 25-15 for the Greeks). The Reds never looked back in the second half, always retaining the lead over an error-prone CSKA.

Coach Kestutis Kemzura was happy to have two of his American players in top form on the night, with Brandon Paul scoring 20 and Kevin Punter making 16 points.
