CSKA vs.UNICS Kazan: 80-74
Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA head coach:
“This is the big celebration for our club, great step forward, because we failed to win the Russian Cup in two previous seasons. We focused to fight hard for all 40 minutes. I do not want to look for the shortcomings in our game. Surely, we will analyze everything but for now I want to say that everyone played hard, gave their 100 percent. UNICS is one of most uncomfortable opponents for us. Lampe and Loncar shoot well from the perimeter, they make defense to play wide.”
