Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
We played good game for the most part of it. We just lacked some energy in the last quarter, last 5-6 minutes, we just spent too much energy on Thursday night against Real Madrid. Our defense in the second half was not on the level of the first half. And, obviously, we made some mistakes in the end: we did not control the key rebound, we let the opponent score from under the basket and mad a turnover. Still I’d like to note that the team was able to recover mentally and made good effort and showed good quality of the game most of the time.
