Euroleague final

CSKA Moscow were crowned European champions for the sixth time after beating Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv 91-77 in the Euroleague final in Madrid late on Sunday. Final MVP Trajan Langdon top scored for the Russians, who were appearing in their third consecutive final, with 21 points while Jon Robert Holden weighed in with 14. Maccabi struggled to cut the deficit and their night was summed up when Alex Garcia, their top scorer in the semi-final victory over Montepaschi Siena, stole the ball from Holden, went coast to coast, and fluffed a two-point lay-up with no one near him. Maccabi were down 57-63 going into the fourth and a run of ten points without reply from CSKA, with seven from Matjaz Smodis, effectively sealed the game in the period's first four minutes. Earlier, Italy's Montepaschi Siena won the third-place play-off game with a 97-93 overtime victory against Spanish side Tau Ceramica.
