Semifinals
Monaco – Gran Canaria (2-0)
Unics Kazan – Virtus Bolonia (2-1)
Monaco may have won 2-0, but neither game in the final was a clear-cut game, quite the contrary. The first, on Monegasque soil, was decided by two points (89-87), the second in Russia by three (83-86).
The physical strength of the Monaco team, together with their success at key moments, and Unics Kazan’s fatigue were decisive in deciding the champion.
