Zalgiris Kaunas vs. CSKA: 67-63
Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA head coach:
“Zalgiris is always playing better in Kaunas because their fans are pushing them forward. It was important for us to stop Brown and Salenga, and we were doing a good job on them for three quarters. But our bad defense in the last four minutes and four three-pointers by Marcus Brown decided the outcome of the game. We lacked balance in our offense. Zoran Planinic played great and that’s a trademark of our team – any given night can be big for one of our star players.”
