Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team, we played serious basketball, dominated and deserved to win. We were a better team tonight. You can say about records, 110 points, 18 threes – that says a lot about performance. But the biggest record for me is our defensive effort in the second half. We allowed just 33 points against a high-scoring team. Second, we tried to share time because we play two games this week. I understand when people talk about records, 18 three-pointers is a beautiful number that don’t happen every game. Probably we are not that good. But we also are not that bad as in the games when we make 5 out of 23 for instance.
