Nice to see J-Mac back on the court. 8 boards in 15 minutes ain't bad. Overall, CSKA out-rebounded Spartak 36 to 22, which is surprising when the latter has Fowles and LJ.

I have a question:

Huh? Did the lights go out? Or was this some reference to CSKA's season-long troubles. Just kidding. I figure it was the former, but wanted confirmation before I started gossiping about it with my friends.
Why did they keep playing with no lights? |
Yeah the lights went out right at the very end. Play stopped but I guess they could't figure out the problem so the last few possesions were played without lights. And CSKA played so bad they could have played the whole thing without lights and spared us that mess...lol! |
