Zakhar Pashutin from Spartak was named tournament MVP, Ettore Messina won Best Coach award.

Ettore Messina:

- Today we played our better game of recent time. First, we played good defense against Khimki pick-n-roll. Second, we demonstrated good passing. Third, we shot from open positions almost every time. Our newcomers, which did not play good yesterday, showed better concentration and desire to win. Everyone played better than yesterday.
