Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Obviously as I said it was a matter of energy. I tried to coach the team to share the time to play with energy. The game was a high-scoring one, high-tempo, and VEF despite missing two very important players played really aggressive basketball and that helped fans to enjoy the game. We showed progress in some parts of the game, but still have a lot of work in front of us. Congratulations to the team with another victory.
