Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
This was a good high-quality game. Loko played with full roster, they even added two new players that helped them with the rotation. At the same time we missed two important players, Shved and Milutinov, and if you take Antonov into account, we did not have three players from our starting five. But I am happy and proud for all others. They showed that CSKA is not only those players I mentioned, that we play together, we defend, we share the ball – and we had 33 assists tonight, that we play unselfish organized basketball. Now it’s time to recover from injured and illnesses and prepare for the next game which is MBA.
