CSKA vs. Lokomotiv Kuban : 72-65 (+7)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
This was the game of nerves. Three or four times we built big lead, of 12-13 points, but we weren’t able to sustain it. Our offense was not sharp but our defense was outstanding, especially in the second half. Tomorrow we will work on the floor even more.
