Spartak Primorje vs. CSKA: 51-82 (+31)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
It is obvious that we started the game not so well contrary to Primorye. We allowed 23 points in the first quarter and 28 points in the next three quarters. It is easy to understand that the defense was the key factor in this game. Still we had to play very good game, to raise our level to win, and that goes to the hosts' credit.
Drew Nicholas, CSKA guard:
We started the game a little weak, we let them gain some confidence. But in the second quarter we started to play well on defense, and when the team plays well on defense, the offense used to pick up. My teammates did a good job of finding me and that’s one of my roles on the team – when I open to shoot the basketball. And that was a good day for me.
