Our team showed its strength on a heated Khimki Arena never giving a doubt who is a true winner in the deciding game of the final series under unbelievable pressure. CSKA won 18th Russian championship title!

Khimki Moscow region vs. CSKA: 63-74 (+11)

Jonas Kazlauskas, CSKA head coach:
It was not easy. We had good games, we had bad games. But with every game, every practice I saw that we understand each other better and better, that we believe in what we are doing. The playoffs were difficult. We lost away game to Eremin’s team, which showed great game. We won 3-0 to very good Lokomotiv team. We lost at home to start the finals but improved our defense, found the leaders and deserved the title.
