Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA coach:

Congratulations to Efes on the victory. This is a great team, and their current position in the standings is not fair. They made us pay for every mistake, especially for the lazy start of the game, and we had to change our original strategy along the way. It was especially obvious when we lost players due to injuries, and therefore we were unable to defend the advantage we earned. Nevertheless, we must give the opponents their due, they deserved to win. However, everything could have turned out differently, and we would have deserved the victory. Nevertheless, it was a great game between two great teams, I hope the fans enjoyed it.
