Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to our team as we got another victory in such a competitive, tough Top 16 group. As I told my players, this is another day at work for us. We did good things during the game, but especially, we went to halftime with only 2 turnovers. We had the ball and proved that this CSKA team can score, regardless what we play offensively. We can use screen on the ball, off the ball cuts, post game or whatever. It was a team victory and this is the way we have to move on against such a competitive, great team. I would like to congratulate Madrid for their performance and the Copa del Rey title, and its fans, because it was a great atmosphere and they do know basketball. It was a physical game, both teams played a high physical level and the winner today was basketball. Great teams, great players, and fans who watched on TV liked the game.
