Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

Thank you very much to the CSKA fans who came here to support us. I also thank the Lokomotiv-Kuban fans, who, as always, created a wonderful atmosphere; it's always a pleasure to play here.

I think we've improved a lot compared to the first two games. There are many areas in which we need to improve, and we can do that. At the same time, we're a very experienced team that knows the series isn't over. We're facing a talented and determined opponent who will fight, and we need to prepare thoroughly for the next game in two days.
