Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
First of all , congratulations to Maccabi. Besides the first five minutes, they were the better team. We made our efforts, we came close in the third quarter, down two points only. We tried to find solutions defensively and stop their great percentage that they had on two-pointers. We didn’t manage to do it, so congratulations to them. Obviously, we’re sad. It’s a loss and a step back on what we were trying to accomplish. It’s not a time for words, it’s time to work on the court, and we will do so tomorrow.
