Nizhniy Novgorod vs. CSKA: 70-68 (-2)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to Nizhny Novgorod. They played good game and deserved to win. We had problems from the very beginning because the opponents had more quickness and energy. Still, despite the difficult game we got control during the last minute but two crucial mistakes cost us the victory. The result can be explained by two statistical factors: we made just 2 of 20 three-point shots and had just 8 assists.
