Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to my team. We were the better team on the court. We were very determined, very focused and all the players deserve congratulations. We were dominant. We actually played in the first half great defense on their key players and [Krunoslav] Simon and [Bryant] Dunston] were very effective in the first half. We had to change several ways of defending them, but I think in the third quarter we came out strong and in the fourth and we pretty much established the status quo we wanted.
