Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:

Definitely, I think we outrebounded them and hustled. We managed, pretty much. We had some similarities – we were dominant and controlled the first half but then in the third quarter Khimki was coming, playing strong and more physical. We showed that we desperately wanted to win this game. We had ups and downs. I think we turned the ball over too much. With all due respect to their defense, we turned over the ball, we just gave them the ball too many times, too easy. Outstanding performance, definitely, from Mike; he didn't have a triple-double for one rebound. He had 8 defensive rebounds in the first half and after he rebounded one more time, so I am going to go on him, because he relaxed on that and didn't rebound a 10th time. It is time to point the light on everybody else. It is pointless to say it: Mike James had an amazing performance and he is such a great player, for sure. But I think that the others supported him very well because we had to keep the plan and change it a little bit during the game because Khimki is a hell of an offensive team. They can really come back. You see that we had plus 17 and they came back in three minutes, just like that. They hit big shots and moved the ball well, and we kind of relaxed over there. I give credit to each and everyone. Definitely, Mike had an outstanding performance.
