VTB United League regular championship final game brought some positive emotions: CSKA played not so spectacular but still defeated Minsk-2006 and took first place in the group.

CSKA vs. Minsk-2006 (Belarus): 82-72

Jonas Kazlauskas, CSKA head coach:
We prepared normally, we took quick lead which reached more than 20 points but after that incomprehensible relaxation or self-assurance were obvious. It was embarrassing to watch what we did on the floor. You cannot find excuses in tiredness or lack of preparation time today. Every player should be responsible for what he does. We are paid for good work not for the one we have done in the third quarter. The problems start when you are walking around on defense thinking that you will win somehow anyway. We should end this trend forever.
