It was very hard for CSKA to survive against the fans pressure at Thessalonica. The team struggled hard in the first two quarters but could do nothing with the rival because of poor field goals percentage. Only the defense help the Army club to become the winner in the match.
Aris TT Bank - CSKA: 62-65
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- It was a very hard game for us. We won because of our defence in the second quarter. Another key for the game was the rebounding. I want to thank Alexey Savrasenko for his excellent performance tonight. This double double costs a lot. And of course Theodoros Papaloukas showed once more how his leadership important for our team.
