The convincing victory by CSKA in Zagreb made the fans to lose the interest towards Croatian champions. But our team’s next opponent won a couple of important games since then and still has the chance to qualify to Top 16. That’s why the game promises to be interesting.
"We played a really good game in Zagreb”, - CSKA head coach Jonas Kazlauskas said. “But from that point the opponents improved, they won two games in Euroleague only, which tells a lot. It will be a big mistake to think we will take the win as easily as we did in Croatia. I want my players to recall all the good things we did there, especially on defense. We should pay more attention to their shooters because KK Zagreb shoots very well recently."
CSKA expects to have Darius Lavrinovic back. At the same time Andrei Kirilenko continues to practice individually.
