CSKA have absolutely dominated their first playoff series this season against Fenerbahce Ulker and closed it out in 3 games. This team have definitely got the momentum going into the most important game of the season.
Anadolu Efes

Even though Anadolu Efes looked like a better team throughout most of this series, they made some very uncharacteristic mistakes which led to Real Madrid having a chance to come back in the series, so it will be interesting to see what conclusions have Anadolu made after their last series.
