The game that used to be in the spotlights of the media for 5 years this time was an easy walk for CSKA. UNICS gave up with the score 61-93. The only bad news is the loss of Alexey SAvrasenko with injuried sholder.

CSKA vs. UNICS: 93-61

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

- It was a good game. We played with intensity both in the offense and in the defense. We were more aggressive in the defense. I am happy with the help we received from our young players. And I am very disappointed with what happened with Alexey Savrasenko. He had his shoulder dislocated. The MRI examination on Monday will show the level of capsule and muscle damage. But as it seems he is out of play for at least 7-8 weeks. And this is catastrophe. We have to practice and play no matter what happened but it would be tough. We are missing 3 players of our starting five: Savrasenko, Siskauskas and Smodis.
