Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to Khimki, they played better and deserved to win. We had three good quarters and the fourth was very bad. It looked like we came out of strength, physically and mentally. We did not attack switches, we did not defend well. It would not be different when we had just one practice with almost full roster. It was a bell for us. We have 6 more practices before the official season start. We have to turn our heads to what it means – playing for CSKA.
