Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
We played a kind of a derby today, against the team which was undefeated in VTB League and has just one loss in Eurocup. Zenit recruited good team this year and we had huge respect to them. You can see this because we changed a lot in our game in comparison to the recent game against Dinamo Sassari. We started very aggressively, we led 32-12 and sent a message to our opponents and ourselves. We also defended well against the visitors’ leaders Toolson, Timma and Dowdell. We played great third quarter, scored 36 points which is close to some record I think. Unfortunately we had bad situation with Jackson who got inadvertently elbowed in the face by Motovilov. Aaron went to hospital, I hope it is nothing serious. Overall we were a better team on the floor and deserved to win. We got great contribution from everyone, I should thank the players for their effort. Starting from the middle of third quarter I tried to share playing time thinking about some difficult games which we have ahead of us. I also thank the fans who came today to support us.
