CSKA vs. Brose Baskets Bamberg: 90-83 (+7)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
I think we started not as aggressive as we wanted against their shooters who shot well without any pressure on them. Besides we did not understand how many problems we have with Weems, Vorontsevich and Erceg out simultaneously. But there were good things. First, we improved in the second half. Second, usually the team which experiences problems on defense get scared on offense. And that did not happen to us. I think we played consistent offense for 40 minutes. To explain how good Bamberg played against us today I can just say that we had to score 90 points and 107 ranking to win by just 7 points.
