Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
It was a really good game for both teams. In the first half, the Nizhny Novgorod team acted very confidently and even took the lead. In the second they tried to catch us, but we were more focused, especially in defense. Before the halftime we allowed 44 points, and after halftime only 26. Therefore, I am satisfied with our game, for us today it became a challenge, and we stood up to it.
