Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
It was a very bad start. We played poorly on both ends, offensively and defensively, we were not concentrated and motivated and therefore scored only 8 points in the first quarter. After that we changed attitude, spread the floor, defended well, rebounded the ball, we played team basketball. Still we have to change a lot of things. First of all – our approach to the game. We’ve seen what we wanted to see during this period. We wait for the injured players and Eurobasket participants to come back. Of course, we have another quality games in Istanbul against Euroleague teams. Now I am trying to play the guys who are new, they have to adapt the system as soon as possible.
