Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

Before talking about the game, I will say that it was my first time playing against Uralmash in Yekaterinburg. I was impressed by the fans and the audience, and I am sure that Russian basketball needs such a high level organization. Today was a tough game. We have been playing a difficult schedule lately, and this was an important victory against a solid team. Today we shot poorly, but we controlled the game. The opponent played tough, closed the gap, but we maintained control. I want to congratulate the opponent on a decent game.
