Congratulations to my team with second win. We dominated and played serious most of the game and deserved to win. It was another good performance by our team, we are 2-0 in series, protected our home court but our wishes are higher. We have to be ready for the Game 3 and we have topics to work on. As you saw Panathinaikos stepped up after the loss in Game 1, played more aggressive and will play even better in OAKA. Still I believe in my team. If we execute our plan, we will demonstrate good basketball in any circumstances. Considering that we played second game in three days I like the fact that we had 28 assists, played as a team, shared the ball and created open looks. Everyone played not for himself but for CSKA, this is what important. I would like to thank our fans who provided great support to us.
