FC Barcelona Spain vs. CSKA: 64-54
Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA head coach:
"We showed heart and until the end it was a close score, a tight game. Our plan was to slow down Barcelona, and I see by their 64 points that we were able to do this. Defensively, we were good. Our weakness was on offense. We mostly play a rotation of six, seven players. Today, Barcelona got the advantage and began to rotate players and we fell down little by little physically. Especially Sasha Kaun was tired until the end of the game, but our main guys went down physically. Even so, were still in it, but we weren't able to score much under the basket. Now, it is important for us to play for the third position and we will do so with emotion on Sunday."
