Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
It was a very important win. We have enormous respect to what Bayern is doing. They have a lot of weapons: first, they rebound well; second, they have a number of shooters; third, they play aggressive defense. I think we played good team game. Before the game we agreed that we will use two point guards simultaneously most of the time to improve our ballhandling. Our bigs played well under pressure. Overall we are pleased with what we did tonight.
