Russian visitors CSK-VVS Samara will travel home with two very important points in the EuroCup Challenge after a hard fought 88-86 win against winless Icelandic club Njardvik over the weekend.

Njardvik’s Brenton Birmingham was an offensive juggernaut, alternatively cutting through the Russian defense for lay-ins or swishing long-range bombs on his way to a game-high 33 points.
