Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
That was a great game. I would say that even if we lost. The team showed heart, it changed the game in the second half. In the first we allowed too many offensive rebounds and did not defend their pick-n-rolls well. We played good defense, we moved the ball well. We could win in the regulation but we also played good overtime. Lokomotiv played excellent basketball and to succeed we had to show great stats: we made 50 percent of threes, we had 24 assists, our index rating is 106. And it was very difficult to win.
