Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
First of all, thank you to the fans, who were here in large numbers today and provided good support. Everyone will agree that we had a bad start, but we must give credit to UNICS, who immediately offered a very physycal defense and proved that they have pride and championship ambitions. In the second half, we gradually found ourselves, began to play smarter, and this led to the result we were striving for. It is nice that all the players contributed to the victory. Sometimes this is not visible in the numbers. For example, Vanya Ukhov's value cannot be described by the numbers from the statistical protocol.
