Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

Once again, I would like to express gratitude to our fans, we continue our series of home games, where we receive excellent support. We started the game with poor energy. In few recent games, it happens that we have difficulties in offense, and this leads to problems in defense. We miss the shot, we start to get nervous - and this also affects our defensive actions. Therefore, for me it is especially important that we overcame this and returned the necessary energy level somewhere in the middle of the second quarter. Of the recent games, the energy that we showed in the second half reminds me most of what we saw in the games at the beginning of the season.
