Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team with tough and important road victory. We did not have much time to prepare, though we had the opponent that plays serious basketball in VTB League and EuroCup, the team that has character. Still we won all four quarters, we challenged their outside shots, we tried to contain their creators. We did not rebound well enough, allowing UNICS to take 20 offensive boards, to receive second, third and sometimes fourth chances. But we controlled the game. Six our players scored 10 points and more, we had almost 20 assists. We read the game, used what was given to us, was it a pick-n-roll situations, switches or off the ball movements. Everyone contributed, including thoseplayers who did not score. It is obvious that we have mutual understanding and respect inside the team.
