Unfortunately for the army fans shorthanded CSKA could not spoil the farewell party for Mirsad Turkcan. The legendary Turkish player got the full house of joy on the night.

Fenerbahce-Ulker vs. CSKA: 74-56 (-18)



Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
First of all, I would ike to note the great atmosphere on this fantastic arena, bright and touching ceremony which reminded us who is Mirsad Turkcan for Turkey and the world basketball. As for the game, I think both teams tried hard, but the depth was a key factor. The opponents was faster than us in the first half, and we did not defend their fast break well. But in the second half our newcomers and the young Gudumak played better. It will be interesting to work when we have the full roster.
