CSKA vs. Dynamo Moscow: 85-60
Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA head coach:
"It is early to celebrate, all the main games are ahead of us. We made too many mistakes, 11 in the first and second quarters only. We will analyze our games because such a number is a lack of respect to ourselves first of all. We made the corrections during the break, played with more concentration. When you play on a top level, it does not mean that we can 'improve when we want to'. Our starting five played well again, Holden played brilliantly, he stopped Dynamo fast breaks, because they finish 80 percent of their possesions in first 10 seconds. They are not so confident in half court offense, and we tried to use that."
