Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
Let me start by thanking the CSKA fans who came here to support us, and I'd like to highlight the UNICS fans who created a wonderful atmosphere. We started off strong, which is especially important against UNICS, which is known for its strong starts. We took control and dictated the game. I'm sure everyone who understands basketball saw that we were the best team on the court today, as we have been in previous games. But that doesn't mean we'll be better next time. We need to put in the same effort, show the same respect, and get the job done.
