We decided to play without Dikoudis and Holden who stayed in Moscow and worked individually. Today CSKA controlled the game only in the third and the beginng of the fourth quarter. But we tried to play agressive to stop Spartak snipers: Korobov and Vorotnikov, and we did it. I with team of Saint Petersburg all the best. But we have to be more concentrade, now we are close to play-off: before it we have only one game - against Scavolini Pesaro.
