Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team, I am very proud with everyone. The guys fought all game long, and 64 points allowed say a lot about our defensive level, because we faced talented team. We dominated in most of situations, especially in the third and fourth quarters. We did not shoot well in the first half, we had only 41% from two-point distance, we watched the film, made adjustments and score 30 points in the third quarter alone. This is an important victory but still it is also just another day of job, in our long marathon. We have to stay healthy in our minds and bodies, to be as ready to overcome obstacles.
