Valencia Basket claimed a much-needed victory as it prevailed 105-103 in a thrilling double-overtime win at home over CSKA Moscow to end a losing skid.
Nikola Kalinic scored the game-winning layup with 44 seconds left as Valencia snapped a three-game losing streak to move to 12-12. Kalinic and Klemen Prepelic led the way with 22 points, Martin Hemannsson poured in 17 points and Bojan Dubljevic pitched in 14 points and 12 rebounds in the win.
A career-high 37 points from Mike James in his return from suspension were not enough for short-handed CSKA, which dropped its fourth game in the last five to fall to 16-8. Johannes Voigtmann had 19 points and 9 rebounds, Nikita Kurbanov tallied 17 points and Joel Bolomboy contributed 10 points.
