RUS - Rampant CSKA hammer sorry Spartak

MOSCOW (Superleague) - Greece national team point guard Theo Papaloukas and Australia international David Andersen each had 16 points to lead a balanced CSKA Moscow attack in a 108-62 mauling of Spartak St Petersburg.

Ettore Messina's men had a 53-30 stranglehold on the game at half-time and marched to victory.

Dynamo Moscow Region followed up their impressive EuroCup-opening win at BC Barons Riga by thumping Spartak Vgues Primorie in Russia on Saturday.

The guard combination of Nikolai Padius and Audrius Giedraitis wreaked havoc as Rutenis Paulauskas' men prevailed 96-84 at home.

Padius had 29 points on nine of 15 (60%) shooting, including four of seven
(57%) from three-point range.

Giedraitis was six of eight (75%) from the floor and one of two (50%) from the arc en route to a 19-point afternoon.

The hosts took a 34-23 lead in the first-quarter and rode that advantage to victory.

The lead ballooned to 86-67 in the fourth quarter, and though Spartak mounted a brave fightback that saw them reduce to the deficit to 90-84 on Victor Keyru's
basket with two minutes remaining, they got no closer.
