Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Congratulations to UNICS, they played better and deserved to win. We have to watch video, analize it and make conclusions. Both teams had some changes in the game, that was expected. There were some moments when the game could turn the other way, for example, Jackson missed the dunk that could give us lead. We did not lose a game since March 24, two months and a half. But we have to forget about past. It is 2-1, and we lost another key player. But we have quality and we will fight.
