Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
We played against quick and aggressive team and we decided to rest Jackson and Khryapa. Still we played a good game, everyone who stepped on the floor showed responsibility and effort. We started well, created a gap, our advantage was around 15 points in the course of the game and we won by 21. I am glad that Alexey and Grigory received significant minutes. Overall, the trip was useful, the team worked seriously and hopefully we will be able to maintain physical and mental freshness till the main games of the year.
The team returns to Moscow on Friday to continue its preparations for the Euroleague Final Four and VTB League playoffs.
