I’d like to say that the fans at the arena and on TV watch a high-quality game of Euroleague level. We were better today. We deserved to win from start to finish. We played against a good team with a system, an excellent roster and coach. Two straight wins on the road indicate that we respect what we are doing during practices. Additionally, I want to say that the team has demonstrated true Army Men spirit this year. The guys want to play and practice even when they’re injured. We need to keep working in the same way. It’s a long season, a marathon. Congratulations to the team on winning a game against a strong opponent that played tough. We also could feel the support of the CSKA fans. They really helped the team.
