Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team for the victory. We had just one practice together… not exactly together – without injured Victor Khryapa and Pasha Korobkov. Some of our players still don’t know offensive and defensive plays, which is normal right now. We practiced 25 days without National Team players, we need more time to improve our understanding. We saw what we wanted to see, tried different options and lineups.
