Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
We dominated from the very beginning. We played aggressively and dictated the tempo at both ends. In the third quarter, we ran into the same problems as the previous game. We started playing a bit sloppy. But these are the playoffs and the result is the most important thing. We’re up 2-0. We need to display concentration and desire once again in the next game in order to make the fans happy. By the way, congratulations to the fans who filled the stands today and enjoyed good game.
