Triumph Lyubertsy vs. CSKA: 61-76
Dusko Vujosevic, CSKA head coach:
Triumph is a good team which plays specific basketball, aggressive, counterattacking, fast. Minimum four players on the court can shoot from the three-point range, the team sometimes play three pick-n-rolls on one possession. We were under big pressure because of favorite status and because we played the first game after painful loss in Valencia. That’s why we started nervous, but we defended well for all 40 minutes and fought for offensive rebounds well winning 46% of our own misses. We know that we can play better and we must play better, and this game showed us that we are on a right way.
