Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
It was a fantastic Euroleague game between two great teams. This is a great win for us. We have seen two very different halves in this game. In the first half, Unicaja dominated the boards, played at its rhythm, was really aggressive at both ends. They pushed us to the corner. We talked during the break that we had to change the game and started to play better defense from that moment. We controlled the game better in the second half and managed to get the win. Either of the teams could have won the game. Every time I come to Malaga, I find a great atmosphere in the arena, with fans that support their team a lot. I congratulate all of my players. Nando De Colo was one of the players that did better in this second half. He gave us a lot, even though all of my players did really well in the second half. They all helped, it was a team win.
