CSKA – Ural Great Perm: 102-64

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

- This game was very important for us in the preparations for the Top 16. Our veterans did maximum to give our young players an opportunity to step on the court. The other goal of the game was to give the playing time for Matjaz Smodis and David Vanterpool. Both are recovering from the injuries and the need to get into the rhythm.
