Probably the worst game for CSKA this season finished the way basketball logic dictated – with the first loss against Russian League team. UNICS Kazan will be the first finalist of the Russian Cup.

CSKA vs. UNICS Kazan: 61-70

Ettore Messina:

“My congratulation to coach Petrovic and his players who played good game and got the deserved win. As for CSKA… The team’s reaction seemed like it was mentally broken after fourth or fifth injury to Smodis this season. It looked like we got a punch in the face and never recovered from it.”
