Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
First of all, congratulations to my team, we dominated whole game though we expected it to be tough. UNICS is a competitive, well-organized team that fought hard. Still we controlled the game from first to last minute. We managed to play well against the opponents big lineup, they had to use it because of injuries though they actually like to play big. We had good steal/turnover ratio, 9 to 9, it’s great when you have less than 10 turnovers. We also forced the opponents to turn the ball over 17 times and defended well against Langford most of the game.
