One step to the finals

In Game 2 of Russian Championship playoffs semifinal series CSKA started a bit slower, but gave full throttle, putting UNICS Kazan to rout in the end...

CSKA vs. UNICS Kazan: 78-59

Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:

“It was a tough game as it usually happen when we play back-to-back games in Russian League. This win was very important. We got the consistent play from all of our players, but I would like to mention specifically Victor Keyru who played very complete, balanced game. And obviously we are sorry for Sasha Kaun and we hope he will recover soon.”

Aco Petrovic, UNICS head coach:

“I would like to congratulate CSKA with a well-deserved win. But I think that the final margin do not correspond with a real level of both teams. As for the game, the only thing I want to mention is that I have never seen such a great, competent refereeing in the entire world.”
