Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Congratulations to the team, we played really good basketball for three quarters and did not show the same pace in desire in the fourth quarter. I did like how the players reacted after the loss to Unicaja, we dominated the game tonight. As I said before the game, defense was the key. We defended well, we led 54-29 at halftime and forced a lot of turnovers. In the end my main concern was to share playing time and to rest those players who were overloaded in previous games. So nobody played more than 24 minutes.
