CSKA - UNICS: 78-81

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach

- I want to congratulate UNICS with the win. They showed a real good game. Even after a tough start and our come back in the 3rd quarter when we were ahead by 5-7 points. As for CSKA we have forgotten that in order to win one should sacrify something. That was the reason for us to play one of the worst games defensively. Our main goal, main focus right now is to win the game tomorrow.
