Congratulations to the team with the win, we are 2-0 and need one more win to come to the finals. We played good basketball today and deserved to win. We will spend one more day to analyze our game to be ready for the visit to Nizhny.

Victor Khryapa, CSKA forward:

It’s hard to rebuild the game soon after the Final Four, the team was emotionally exhausted and needed to find motivation. Second game of the series was much easier for us. We sorted our mistakes out after the first game with Nizhny, played confident and had more players involved.
