CSKA vs. Brose Baskets: 76-67 (+9)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
We had an important victory against a really good team, which created problems for its opponents in the first two games. We played excellent in the first and fourth quarters. The problem arose after Micov and Weems drew 2 fouls each in the second quarter. Without them we weren’t enough dangerous on offense. We lacked good chemistry on the floor in these moments. But in the fourth quarter I got a chance to use both our forwards together and it went better. I suppose we found our playing balance, kept working the proper way and won the game.
