CSKA vs. Krasnye Krylia: 77-46 (+31)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
The game was not as easy as it appears on the scoreboard. We had to work hard to reach this big margin of victory. We built our game on defense and rebounding as it should be in the playoffs. In the beginning we turned the ball over too much, but avoided more mistakes and played very good third quarter. Our rotation with Zhenya Voronov playing shooting guard allowed to use Aaron Jackson’s quickness at point guard position and that helps us. Voronov played another very good game as he did against Khimki. Hopefully we will continue to play like this tomorrow. We still have a lot of respect to Samara.
