Without taking a breather our team went on a long road trip. Transaero charter took CSKA to Mariupol for VTB League game.
"The team from Mariupol differs significantly from the one we met in Moscow", - CSKA head coach Jonas Kazlauskas said. "It changed two coaches,several players and therefore demonstrates different basketball. This game is very important for Ukrainian club in means of standings. At the same time we have to rehabilitate for our previous loss in Czech Republic and to prepare for the game against UNICS."
Sammy Mejia and Dmitry Sokolov were left in Moscow.
