Montepaschi Siena vs. CSKA: 66-69
Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
- It was a tough game in a tough place. We started the game well but after several mistakes got depressed and started to play the kind of game we did not show this year. We let the rival to score 82 percents of the 2-pointers and we made 7 turnovers. In the half time I told my players that even if we loose the game we should do it playing our game. After the break the team came up feeling the responsibility. We tried to avoid penetration and we were very patient.
