Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team on the win. We knew about Astana problems with their foreigners coming late. We respect the team and I wish them good luck in future games. We had our defensive goals that we did not reach. Third quarter was especially bad. Even though we kept our opponents in low numbers in the fourth, it is not about numbers, not about 60 points. We made many mistakes, we had lapses. This tells us that we have big work ahead of us. We also created a lot of open looks but we shot the ball really bad. Obviously, we were a better team tonight, and Astana missed some quality players that will join the team later.
