Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team with a difficult win. The game had a lot of ups and downs for both sides. We experienced some problems on defense, especially in the first half with the help on the weak-side defense and opponents’ pick-n-rolls. In the second half we relied on jump shots off the dribble. Our “bigs” Vorontsevich, Hines and Kaun actively dived for the rebounds and gave us a lot of second chances. Nando De Colo plays on the highest level lately. This win is a team win, not one player’s achievement. We deserved it all together. I would like to thank our fans who came here in big numbers and gave us great support. It’s a pleasure to feel it!
