Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
I want to congratulate my players. We were the better team tonight. We set the tone on defense from the start. We were focused and decisive. We forced our opponent to commit 15 turnovers, while they had only four steals. On offense, we went into the paint and converted our opportunities. Khimki is still a strong team and evidently gave a lot of energy in the series against Lokomotiv. We are up 1-0 and expect our opponent to get some reinforcements from players that were injured. We’ll prepare for a challenging Game 2. I thank the fans who came tonight to support us.
Kyle Hines, CSKA Moscow center:
Our guards created a lot of opportunities to work good on offense tonight especially to our “bigs”. It was the biggest reason to me, Sasha and Pasha to finish around the basket. It’s final games so we had to play with hunger and desire.
