Khimki Moscow Region vs. CSKA: 64-87 (+23)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
First, I would like to say “thank you” to our fans for their support. In one of the most important game of the season they were able to get here and demonstrate their care, love and support. Second, I would like to congratulate Khimki with the great season they had. They were tough opponent, and I have big respect to coach Rimas Kurtinaitis and his team. Today our players were great, they played intelligent, with desire and discipline. We found the leaders, you saw them on the floor, but our bench players helped a lot which was important because we lost Sasha Kaun in addition to Milos Teodosic. And the last one: I understand how important is this victory to CSKA people. At the same time I urge them not to exaggerate the importance of this win and not to overcelebrate. We have the final series against Lokomotiv-Kuban ahead, another great team. We have to be as serious as we were in this past series and especially in today's game.
