Dani Hackett who just got back after injury kept the serious face after the game. It is nice to win in the Game 1, but it's just 1-0 in the series...

Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
I think that was, as expected, a playoff game that both teams were very determined. It was a game of runs. We had a very bad run with a lot of turnovers in the third quarter and we allowed them a lot of easy buckets. They have that quality as well. But the fact that we played all together in the second half in general and everybody who came deep from the bench had big determination, big wish and big will to help the team like Semen and Ivan did a great job and of course everybody else. I'm happy again that it's a team win. It's just 1-0. We've seen it out there. It's tough, nothing is given. It's gonna be like that.
