First Final Four is guaranteed

18.11.2008
Win against Sibirtelekom-Lokomotiv in Novosibirsk allowed CSKA to win quarterfinal series and to get to Cup of Russia Final Four.

Sibirtelekom vs. CSKA: 69-79

Ettore Messina:

“I would like to congratulate Novosibirsk for the good game, intensity, tactics and desire to win. We tried to provide more time to our young players but we needed our veterans to win. And, believe me, it was not easy for them to stay on the bench and wait for the mistakes of the reserves and then to come out and to get us 10-point advantage. Our young players had a chance to show themselves then the game result is not decided but it didn't use the chance. Except for Vorontsevich. If he continue to progress he will become very good player for CSKA and the national team”.
