Krasnye Krylia Samara Region vs. CSKA: 50-67 (+17)
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
We got very important win against strong opponent in just 44 hours after a difficult game in Kiev. I think my players showed not just good but excellent defense today and this can be illustrated by just 5 assists by Krasnye Krylia. We moved the ball well almost all the game and the only thing we need to clean is our actions in the beginnings of the halves. We are getting better day by day and that gives me confidence in what we are doing. Finally, the most important factor for us was our captain Victor Khryapa. He spent the summer resting his body and now he works hard to get back into shape. I am sure he will be 100 percent ready.
