Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
Let me start by thanking all the CSKA fans who came out to support us today. Regarding the game: even though it wasn't important for us in terms of the standings, CSKA and Lokomotiv-Kuban games can't be lazy or lacking in motivation, so it was an interesting one. In the previous games, our problem was turnovers, of which we committed 23, and one of our goals was to improve on that, which we accomplished. I'm not happy with how we played defensively, but we're moving forward and focusing on the next game.
