Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

Before I talk about the game, I would like to thank Crvena Zvezda for coming here for this tournament. This means a great deal for us, and it was a good test for us. There were a lot of challenges, we’ve played against very experienced team. There will be a lot of good conclusions coming out of this game. Yes, the win is the most important for us on this tournament, but most importantly I liked our performance, we played good basketball for most of the game. We still have ups and downs that most of the teams have at this stage of the season.
