Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team, we played seriously. We lacked concentration for a couple of minutes in the first half with all respect to the quality that Avtodor has on each and every position, especially individually. This is the team that runs the court and plays isolations often, and in the second quarter we gave up a lot of easy points off offensive rebounds, isolations and transition. The rest of the game we played seriously defensively and offensively. We were the better team. It was good to share the time knowing that we have more difficult games ahead of us.
