The red-and-blues are practicing in bigger numbers now. And the team actually became taller. Vladimir Ivlev recovered and got back on the court.

WORD TO COACH

Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Enisey’s game based a lot on the athleticism and open-court actions. At home they play more aggressive. Obviously, Ware is a point of emphasis but not only him. Everybody can support ideas of the coach and his system to run the floor and hustle more. Definitely we have an opponent that competes on the highest level, we had difficulties against them in the first game.
