Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
First of all, the most important thing that happened to us in the last few days is that Antonius Cleveland returned to Moscow, because we were very worried about his son. And we're very happy that he's back and with us now. I also want to thank our fans who came here. I know it's always difficult to get to Krylatskoye, especially in this weather. So we're especially happy and grateful for everyone who came here today. As for the game, I can’t be happy with the way we started the second half. I think we were a little lazy in those moments. But overall, I'm happy with everyone who took the court. The guys were motivated and showed seriousness. We'll keep going, and we have much more serious and difficult games ahead.
