What a useful game!
Tenth in the standings, Enisey was really close to stun our team, having a lead with half a quarter before the end. But CSKA still took the win in the end...

Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
Thank you to the fans who chose to spend time at our game. Before the game, we said that Enisey is a serious and disciplined team, and its position in the standings does not reflect the quality of basketball it shows. And the visitors proved it today. All they need in such a situation is a chance from the opponent, and we gave it to them. From the very beginning, we lacked concentration, and we were probably already thinking about the next game. The defense in the first half was not up to par, but in the second half, as they say, we switched on and played in accordance with our defensive potential.
