Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

First of all, I want to thank the fans for the atmosphere they created. It gives us a great lift when we see such interest in our games. In terms of the game, we started off strong, but then, throughout the game, we sometimes weren't smart enough, didn't do what we had agreed on in advance. We also missed a few open shots. As a coach, I'm happy that we created these open shots. The key factor was our defense: we were focused on defense throughout all the game.
