Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
We won our second straight game on the road. Like I said, VEF is energetic, talented and they showed it in this game. During the first half, we dominated on offense and punished the home team for its mistakes. At the same time, we gave up too much on defense. During the third quarter, our defense was better. We stopped our opponent and established the balance between defense and offense.
