Basketball-Lokomotiv stun Barcelona to force playoff tie-breaker

BARCELONA, April 21 (Reuters) - Russians Lokomotiv Krasnodar are on the verge of reaching their maiden Euroleague Final Four after a 92-80 overtime win at Barcelona tied their best-of-five quarter-final at 2-2 on Thursday.

The series will move to Russia for the decisive match on Tuesday after rampant Lokomotiv outscored Barcelona 16-4 in the additional five minutes of a rip-roaring contest in the Palau Blaugrana.

The Russian side's American power forward Anthony Randolph was at the heart of their success, scoring eight points and dishing out an assist in an 11-0 overtime run which forced Barca into submission.
