Basketball-Fenerbahce, Laboral reach Final Four as Barca close in

BELGRADE, April 19 (Reuters) - Fenerbahce Istanbul and Laboral Kutxa Vitoria reached the Euroleague Final Four after completing 3-0 wins in their best-of-five quarter-finals while Barcelona closed in after beating Lokomotiv Krasnodar on Tuesday.

Fenerbahce brushed aside holders Real Madrid 75-63 and Laboral sank the competition's six-time winners Panathinaikos 84-75 to join CSKA Moscow, who rounded off their 3-0 sweep of Red Star Belgrade on Monday, in the last four.

Fenerbahce will play Laboral for a berth in the final in Berlin while Barcelona edged towards a clash with CSKA in the other semi after an 82-70 home win over Lokomotiv gave them a 2-1 lead over the Russian side.
