The Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs enter its second week with three teams - CSKA Moscow, Anadolu Efes Istanbul and AX Armani Exchange Milan - one win away from making it to the Final Four. No team has rallied from a 0-2 deficit in playoff history, but what happened in the past doesn t give you any sort of advantage and the three teams in do-or-die situations - Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, Real Madrid and FC Bayern Munich - play at home in Game 3.

Now, Zenit aimed to become just the second team to win back-to-back playoff road games after Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, which swept Panathinaikos OPAP Athens in the 2017 playoffs despite not having home-court advantage and went on to lift the EuroLeague trophy.
Both teams were expected to make adjustments. Zenit faced another injury problem, as center Arturas Gudaitis was sidelined due to an ankle sprain from Game 1. Zenit adjusted its defense, preventing Barcelona passing ace Nick Calathes from dominating the game tempo and stopping MVP candidate Nikola Mirotic, too.
