(Add quotes, detail)

BERLIN, May 15 (Reuters) - CSKA Moscow won their seventh Euroleague title and the first since 2008 after inspired performances by guards Milos Teodosic and Nando De Colo led them to a dramatic 101-96 overtime win over Fenerbahce Istanbul in Sunday's final.

Ending a long personal wait in Europe's premier club competition, Serbia captain Teodosic racked up 19 points, seven assists and five rebounds to claim his first title after falling short in six previous Final Four tournaments.

"It's a huge stone off my back and I must admit we were a bit fortunate to come out on top after spilling a 21-point lead in the second half," Teodosic, draped in his country's flag, told reporters.
