The 1962/63 EuroLeague season brought 26 teams. Once again, the Soviet teams set the tone and dominated the competition. The reigning champions, Dinamo Tbilisi, reached the semifinals stage, where they met fellow Soviet side and the eventual champions – CSKA Moscow team.
The CSKA had a long run to the Finals, losing a few games on the way. Their opponent was the Spanish side – Real Madrid. Unlike the previous seasons, the Finals series was extended to a total of three games, and the political tensions weren’t an issue for teams to travel to away games. In a decisive third game in Moscow, the CSKA secured a confident 99-80 win, clinching their second EuroLeague title. The Finals MVP was the 22-year-old CSKA point guard Aleksandr Travin, who was the most consistent scorer of the Soviet team during the series, averaging 15.0 points per game.
The Spanish forward, Emiliano Rodriguez won the Top Scorer award, finishing the season with 272 points in 11 games, averaging 24.7 points per game. Overall, Real Madrid had several great scoring options, such as Clifford Luyk or Carlos Sevillano, but it wasn’t enough to get past the Soviet team in the Finals. The CSKA was much more consisent on the defensive side.
