CSKA Moscow vs. Olympiacos
CSKA Moscow came into the semifinals, widely considered to be the favourite. It was a rematch of the 2012 Final and 2013 Semifinal. Both of those previous games were won by Olympiacos.
Olympiacos rallied late in the fourth quarter, after it had been down by 9 with four minutes to go. Vassilis Spanoulis came up clutch, as he scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, to pull Olympiacos away from CSKA. Aaron Jackson set a Final Four record during the game, with 7 steals.
Real Madrid vs. Fenerbahçe Ülker
The hosts, Real Madrid, were considered the favourites to win the game against Fenerbahçe, which made its Final Four debut.
Real Madrid dominated in the first half, and they led 55-35 at halftime. A fourth quarter rally by Fenerbahçe came up too little, too late. Gustavo Ayón was top scorer for Real, with 18 points. Andrew Goudelock scored 26 for Fenerbahçe.
