Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

First of all, I'd like to thank the CSKA fans who came to support us, and I'd also like to give credit to the Perm fans. Every game here is a great pleasure for us! The game was exciting, with a lot of runs and high intensity. I think our team ultimately deserved this victory. We played quite well early on. I take responsibility for rotating our lineup today, putting a lot of players on the court. This, of course, made us nervous in the final quarter. But we got the win, and it's especially important today, as our opponents made 60% of their three-pointers.
