Emil Raikovic, CSKA head coach:
First of all, congratulations to Zenit. This game allowed us to recognize that there are no invincible teams. Our historical streak is over. We were happy with how it went, but it came to an end. Probably, in this game, Zenit wanted to win more, they played very aggressively. Of course, the three-point percentage was an important factor: they made 15 of 29 from the perimeter. This game will be a lesson for us. We know that we can play better.
