Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team on the victory in the final game of the regular season. Olympiacos is a rival, high quality team with high expectations. This is justified with the way the play the whole season and previous seasons, with the system they have, players they have. It was a high intensity game, we were dominant, we could have bigger margin of victory. The opponents, as I said, have quality to score off our turnovers, and it was our biggest problem for whole game. We had big number of turnovers – 20. If you pay attention to the rankings, the difference of more than 20 points is not translated to the score. We played tied game in the end; this is a good way to practice many thing in clutch moments, when you’re having the lead, lose it and have to find the ways to win. I have to congratulate my players for their contribution during the regular season. The marathon continues, we prepare for playoffs against high-quality, high-intensity team. We are looking forward to stay healthy, this is my only concern and wish. I would like to thank more than 11 thousands fans that came over here, it was a very good crowd. We definitely addressed them a direct message that we need them for playoffs. There is a difference when a crowd support the players.
