Fenerbahce Ulker - CSKA: 64-74
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- It was very hard to play on the road against Fenerbahce that won two out of three last games. We lost the part of our consistency after the loss in Kazan in Russian Superleague. The offencive rebounding was very important factor of the game tonight. It was also important for us to guard against Kambala. Not only against his scoring but also against his passes to Mrsic who was excellent tonight.
