Khimki Moscow will play Iurbentia Bilbao in the semi-finals of the Eurocup after two thrilling games at the knockout Final Eight tournament in Turin.

Khimki beat Valencia 76-73 to book their spot in Saturday's last four match while Bilbao ran out 76-67 winners over KK Zadar at the Palasport Olimpico.

In the first of the evening's clashes, Khimki were led by Mike Wilkinson (pictured) who netted 15 points, with Jorge Garbajosa and Carlos Delfino each adding 12 for the Russian side.

Vitaly Fridzon weighed in with a further 11 while Albert Oliver's 18 points for Valencia was enough to earn him the title of top scorer but ultimately proved scant consolation.

A storming start to the final quarter put Bilbao in the driving seat in the late tip-off against Zadar, the Spanish side going on a 12-2 streak led by Janis Blums who ended with a season-high 21 points.

Zadar had no answer, despite the best efforts of Hrvoje Peric, who bagged a commendable 17 points for the Croatians.

Serbian side Hemofarm will meet Lietuvos Rytas of Lithuania in the other semi-final to be played on Saturday.

The final will be played on Sunday, with the winners of the tournament earning the right to join the Euroleague next season.
