Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to Zalgiris for the win. They played much better in the second half; they were more decisive. For us it is a big shame how we lost the game. With the advantage we had, kids would bring it home. So it’s a big shame for all of us. Everything, the turnovers, the rebounds, the possessions we had, everything. They went out in the second half and, especially after the momentum of the technical, they hawked, they played above the level of the foul and they were more determined. That’s why they deserve congratulations.
Выводы делать не будем?!
И где поздравления нашего тренера команды соперника с отличной игрой (традиционное)?
Понятно, что Жальгирис - мотивированный дальше некуда, особенно на своей родной площадке. Но при всем уважении к литовцам - составы команд не сопоставимы. Как 2 раза можно было "+7" растерять? Где инстинкт убийцы??
Очень грустный матч (( С таким баскетболом чемпионами не становятся ((
