Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:
Compliments to Runa: the opponents played a good game and are having a good season so far - excellent work by the players and coaching staff. We were experiencing many problems in the third quarter due to their tough, physical play. It is important that at the end we found a way to win. We will take a lot of lessons from this game. I also would like to thank the fans. It was my first time in this gym, the atmosphere was wonderful, our fans were everywhere, I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
