Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to our team we played good basketball most of the game, we started well defensively and offensively but later both teams were making shots and showed great productivity in the first quarter. We talked a lot about defense, made some changes. Rochestie is very important for Nizhny and we were able to stop him as well as Kinsey in the second half – with all respect to all other players you have to have priorities. I am glad that the team played with dedication, effort and concentration. It is not easy to beat good team like Nizhny in all 7 games during the season.
