CSKA
CSKA remains the main contender for the championship title, there is no doubt about it. But a defeat can be very hard on the ego of basketball players. Recently, they have gained a very decent pace and churned out only victories. And such a painful setback could take a toll on dressing room morale.

But an experienced coaching staff should take advantage of the pause to bring their charges in order. There is no doubt that the transformed "soldiers" will take to the floor.
