Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

I want to congratulate my team on another road win. We came here from Barcelona and actually we play 7 of 9 games on the road this month. From the opening minutes we played serious, our task was to put pressure on Boynton who is actually the only creator on the team. Without him and injured guard Ivan Strebkov, our opponents had a tough time running the offense. We held to our plan for the entire game and I tried to share the playing time. I want to point out that we dished out almost 30 assists today and demonstrated solid team basketball.
