Tsmoki-Minsk Belarus vs. CSKA: 62-66 (+4)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
We came here after horrible performance in Istanbul, so it was difficult to play not only mentally but also because our opponents score easily, averaging more than 90 points a game. I think on defense we played well but on offense we looked uncertain. The good thing is that we did not panic in the key moments, we were disciplined enough to perform the dribble penetrations and find our shots. It is important that our guards Teodosic and Pargo were strong enough to carry the team.
