CSKA vs. Unicaja Malaga: 81-94 (-13)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
It is clear that in the case when the whole team can’t play on one good level, the one who is coaching the team should take responsibility. And I am responsible for the fact that I was not able to prepare my team mentally to face very dangerous opponent. We scored 81 point and usually it is more than enough to win the Euroleague game. We made 58% of two-point shots and 35% of three-pointers, we had ranking of 99, but all this statistics are offensive… I would like to congratulate Unicaja which played aggressively and found the leaders in Simon and Williams. But all the others also played great, organized basketball with right mentality and good shooting.
