Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
As always, the game with Zenit turned out to be excellent, with a hot atmosphere and a packed gym. We controlled the game most of the time, our tactical ideas in defense and offense mostly worked. Except for the ending, where we made two serious mistakes. The team showed character and composure after such a fall and confidently won in overtime. The main thing: I want to wish good health to Sergei Karasev. I hope the injury is not serious and he will be able to return to the court soon.
