Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- It was the important game for us. Unicaja does not have their National team players but there are enough experienced veterans on their roster. It was a very tough game from the physical point of view. We lost Marcus Goree who felt pain in his groin and we will exam the injury tomorrow so he will not play against Montepaschi. Andrei Vorontsevich played an excellent game. His value was 35 points.
