Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA coach:

First of all, I want to dedicate this victory to Dimitris Itoudis, who is currently fights health issues. Hope he gets back as soon as possible. I want to thank the players for playing with all their hearts. And especially to Will Clyburn and Joel Bolomboy, who wanted to help the team today, despite the injuries, despite the pain. We, in turn, tried to help them by limiting their minutes. In general, today's game went accordingly to our plan, we did everything that was necessary to win. We respected a very dangerous opponent and got an important victory.
