CSKA vs. Prokom: 99-67
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- We should recognize that it was a very hard game for Prokom with several players absent on their roster. And we should respect the effort they gave to the game. Our players were concentrated on the game from the first minute and the fact gave us the opportunity to give some interesting minutes to our young players. It was a good game for us but next week we have a difficult trip to Siena for a game against Montepaschi.
Tomas Pacesas, Prokom Trefl head coach:
- CSKA was stronger then we in almost all the game components. We have some difficulties and problems in the team, most on them on the mental side. But we will not give up until we have the smallest chance to get to Top-16. We have 4 games at home and with the full roster there is a chance to do something.
