Barcelona, Olympiacos prevail in Paris semifinals
The semifinals at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in the French capital were both tough games. Led by Ricky Rubio's 10 points and 8 assists and a complete team defensive effort, FC Barcelona bested CSKA Moscow 68-54 in the early game.
Olympiacos Piraeus survived an overtime thriller to beat Partizan Belgrade 80-83. The Reds forced overtime on Josh Childress’s offensive rebound and dunk in the closing seconds of regulation and then rode the foursome of Childress, Linas Kleiza, Ioannis Bourousis and Milos Teodosic, who scored 4 points apiece in overtime, to secure a remarkable win.
