Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

We opened the game seriously. In game of basketball everything looks different when you’re making shots. We wanted to bounce back after Milan, where we had 1 for 11 in the fourth quarter. Here we were making shots, especially in the third and fourth quarters. We had 20 offensive rebounds, the energy was here. Still it was not our best game shooting-wise, but we are still loaded and we are coming off difficult trip to Milan. But everything we are doing is for the future.
