Top 16, mid-round review: Group H
The Top 16's return in Week 4 is perhaps most pivotal in Group H, where both Olympiacos (3-0) and BC Khimki Moscow Region (2-1) can already advance to the Quarterfinal Playoffs if both win their next games. Don't expect Caja Laboral (1-2) and Cibona (0-3) to go quietly, however. Cibona competed well in Piraeus, where Olympiacos is undefeated this season, and will be even more dangerous backed by its fans in Zagreb. At the same time, Olympiacos would relish nothing more than a road win to qualify early to the playoffs. On its visit to play Khimki in Russia, Caja Laboral plans to show the pride that produced its streak of five consecutive playoff appearances. Khimki is one victory away from becoming just the second Euroleague newcomer to reach the playoffs. It seems to have found the missing link, team chemistry, in a huge Week 3 road win at Caja Laboral, but the Top 16 will force Khimki to prove it at least once more.
