Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
The finish of the game could have gone a different way. We came back and played better in the third quarter. It was evident that we changed our mindset and we had a different approach in the game. That’s why we took the lead. The way they won the game, it was a hustle situation - here and there a couple of free throws and a couple of better looks and better decisions defensively: not to let a good scorer like Okobo go to his left hand. That could be a point of emphasis that we have to analyze.
