Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Congratulations to my team for another road win. We are collecting victories, which is important in this marathon. Congrats to Bamberg. The outcome could have been different at the end, and that would have been fair, too. But we won. We were really good and dominant on both ends, offensively and defensively for two and a half quarters. We managed to force 16 turnovers to go with 11 steals, we played amazing defense. We expected Bamberg to try to play small-ball or play normal, but be aggressive. They hit 6 of 8 shots behind the arc for one stretch, if I am not mistaken. We had Teodosic who was hot, and we had 13 offensive rebounds. It was important that we won that battle, and chased and challenged most of the shots we missed. That was big. Bamberg has been in this situation many times this season, and the outcome was the same. They are a good team and play well. We have players that are absent, but more importantly we have players that are here, now, and they helped the team to another road win.
