[excerpt] Trajan Langdon scored 17 points and Tomas Van Den Spiegel added 16 to lead CSKA Moscow to a 94-75 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in an exhibition game Saturday.
Center Chris Kaman had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Corey Maggette scored 13 points for the Clippers, one of four NBA teams taking part in a European preseason tour and the first to play in Russia since the Atlanta Hawks in 1988.
"I'd love to come back and play these guys when we're definitely in shape -- to show them what we can do," Maggette said.
"Beating a team from the NBA is not a thing that happens often," said Theodoros Papaloukas, who had 10 points and nine assists for CSKA.
Los Angeles forward Elton Brand said he "definitely (had) flashbacks of Papaloukas," who had 12 assists when Greece beat the United States in the semifinals of the world championships.
"He's a great player," Brand said.
Dunleavy said the game was a good test for his team ahead of the new season.
"It tells us how far away we are," he said.
CSKA's Italian coach, Ettore Messina, said the team must "stay extremely humble" after the win.
