Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to my players. I think it was both physical and mind game, we succeeded in both and I think we deserved to win. I would like to say big thank you to the crowd. Maybe somebody had hesitation in mind, so we did not sell 27 tickets (assuming that we have 12500 seats), so I hope they have no hesitation no more and they will come for the next game. The players say that this gives them extra motivation. The fans helped the team in crucial moments like the one when Olympiacos led by one and everyone started cheering and demanding us to win..
Nando De Colo, CSKA Moscow guard:
We knew it’s gonna be a tough game, they played really aggressive. It’s great we did not let us relax till the end – till the last minute. Now we have seven games to go so we need to think about our team.
