Our team won Game 1 of Russian championship semifinal series, punishing Dynamo for their use of zone defense by making a series of three-point shots.

CSKA vs. Dynamo Moscow: 77-58

Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA head coach:
“Our main task was completed – we did not allow the opponent to score 60 points and played attentively against Dynamo leaders Bykov and Monya, who almost did not have open shots. I am glad that Vorontsevich and Planinic helped us off the bench. It was very difficult to score from under the basket because Dynamo used zone, double and triple teams in the paint. But that gave us more freedom on the perimeter, and we shot with good percentage. I’d like to say good words about Holden and Langdon, who showed their class, and Kaun who maybe did not score much but rebounded and helped us to play more confident defense.”
