CSKA vs. Khimki Moscow Region: 75-77 (-2)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
We played very good through three quarters. We definitely improved our offense and made 22 assists today. Still, when we had to finish our job, we just stopped playing defense allowing 25 points in the last quarter. And when it comes to the teams scoring around 80 points, it is extremely difficult to beat Khimki. But, again, we stopped playing defense and made tremendous mistake. Still you have to admit they never gave up and I have to congratulate them on that. Now we have to start from zero again.
