Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Congratulations to the team on the win in the game and series. CSKA so far approaches every playoff game very seriously – as in all games actually. Also I would like to congratulate VEF. As I said before, they are fighting, they have good, athletic roster. We all hope that Mejeris injury is not serious, I wish him to recover soon. Also I would like to thank our fans. Now we are looking forward to the Final Four. We have 9 days to prepare.
