Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- I am very pleased with the way my team played in the second quarter. We made good passes, fast-breaks, played good defense. The second half was psychologically tough for us. At the end of the third quarter Papaloukas’ technical foul gave Dynamo a hope to save the game. I am happy that we managed to control the rhythm of the game till its finish despite the foul trouble. I would like to distinguish Zakhar Pashutin for the first quarter and Nikita Kurbanov for the second period and the ending. Both of them helped us a lot tonight.
