Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
We looked a little rusty, because, as I said yesterday, this game happened on the 13th day after the previous one. Although we got the opportunity to rest and practice, we lacked the game action. In fact, we failed only in the last three minutes of the first half, which Nizhny won 5-15. We were bad at free throws and three-pointers. At the same time, we defended aggressively, Jojo [Voigtmann] played great, he had a double-double. Congratulations to the team, we are ahead 1-0 in the series.
