Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Obviously with short rotation we did not want to play overtime. Especially the way it happened when we let the advantage slip away and let them shoot some easy three-point shots. This is a point to learn from. Before the game we were talking about turnovers in our game against AEK. In this game with overtime we had just 11 turnovers. That says how we cared of the ball and made good plays. Overall we’ve seen what we wanted to see. We continue our work.
