Spartak St.Petersburg vs. CSKA: 89-71
Dmitry Shakulin, CSKA interim coach:
Spartak played great game overall. We lost 15 rebounds, the opponents shot with high percentage. In the last quarter when Domercant was on fire we tried to play more active perimeter defense but immediately received 6 points from Popovic. We fought but played terrible fourth quarter. Its result – 28-12 – speaks for itself. Our problems are well-known and they cannot be used as excuse. We played with the same roster for long. Young players are now playing more than in previous seasons – that gives some points to be optimistic.
