Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA hed coach:
Congratulations to my team, we are up 1-0. We played seriously, especially on defense, we were focused to force turnovers. At the same time we shot quite poorly, this is something to work on next game. I would like also to congratulate Nikita with his individual award. He definitely deserves it, he is one of the best defensive players. I am happy for him because he developed into this kind of player on our team and helped us to develop our game.
