Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

We approached the game well prepared, played seriously for at least three quarters. Khimki slowed us down a bit with their zone, but with all due respect to the defense of the opponents, it was more of our fault. At the same time, we were able to manage the load. We are satisfied with the victory, we are looking forward for the next games.
