In the VTB League game against Lietuvos Rytas CSKA had a chance to try all 12 players. The game was close for two quarters and a half, but after that our team switched the ‘favorite’ mode on and routed the opponents.

CSKA vs. Lietuvos Rytas: 89-75 (+14)

Jonas Kazlauskas, CSKA head coach:
You should understand the Lietuvos Rytas is a high-level team, with good organization, players from strong basketball schools. It cannot be expected that we will go up by several points in every quarter. Thanks to the reserves we got on fire in the last quarter. For example, Zhenya Voronov changed the rhythm by his defense, in fact taking out the opponents’ main point guard Rice. Overall, I am happy with the way we played.
