The game against Spartak in St. Petersburg was as difficult as it was expected. Playing under highest level of pressure until the closing seconds CSKA still managed to get the second win in Russian Superleague.
Spartak St.Petersburg vs. CSKA: 73-81
Ettore Messina:
- It was a difficult game – as usually in St. Petersburg. We had the biggest problems in the first 20 minutes when we could not control Spartak’s pick-n-rolls. We had not enough power under the basket, we lost on the glass, but the key factor was the game of Terence Morris. Also we were horrible in transition defence. Yes, nobody, even Holden, could not play against Wisnewski but he scored 4 three-pointers in transition. Plus Blair scored in transition 3 or 4 times.
