Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
First of all, I would like to congratulate my team on 20th victory in a row. We took this game very seriously. The starting five set the tone for the game, and then everyone who entered the court acted with full dedication, not allowing themselves to relax. For us, today's victory is another step in terms of preparing for the second stage of the regular season, where we will have to play against the top five teams in the League. It will be more difficult, so we need to step up after the New Year's break. We are moving in the right direction.
