Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Merry Christmas to everyone who is celebrating today. We focused on our professional responsibilities today and defeated a competitive team. We tried to share the playing time and get some rest for the guys who played a lot in recent games, especially Sergio and Kyle. We took care of business – we played the right way and earned a win, for which I congratulate the team. Astana looks good right now. They added a new foreigner and are demonstrating good basketball. I wish them luck in the future.
