Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Congratulations to my team. We managed to come out in the second half and hustle more. We outrebounded them, as you can see. We were not very productive in assists, but you know it takes two for assists, the guy who makes the play and the guy who scores. But we found a way. Mike had a very good game and made amazing shots, but all the others supported them amazingly. So, I would say that the way we fought on the boards, the way we grabbed second chances – like Toko [Shengelia] was there, Niko [Milutinov] was there, Johannes Voigtmann] was there, Will [Clyburn] was there to support everything – so this is the way. We found this way tonight because we were very poor in assists, but as I said it takes two. The way we defended was much better. Definitely, the fact that we had 10 turnovers and zero steals has to concern us. We're taking the win. Congratulations to my players. They found a way. To be continued.
