Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
I think the hustle points and, in general, the hustle we showed, we just kept believing even though they took the advantage. For us, the biggest trouble was the turnovers. With all respect to their defense, we just turned the ball over too easily a couple of times. So we didn't shoot the ball. We said, 'OK, even if we don't have good shots, let's try to shoot the ball, because obviously, we were dominant on the glass.' So when we turned the ball over something like six times in seven offenses, and the other was a miss, that cost us a little more than usual. And to be honest, that was something that brought us to the level of being nervous. But we never gave up; we never stopped believing. So I have to congratulate my team for keeping believing, giving a fight, and grabbing the win, which was very important for us.
