Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
First of all, I want to thank the fans, there was a great atmosphere today, which we really enjoyed. Secondly, congratulations to Nikita on a well-deserved achievement. He is one of the greatest players in the history of Russian basketball, and I hope to be here when he plays his 1,000th game for CSKA. As for the game, we showed the right attitude again. We started off strong, played well on both ends of the court. Even though our shooting percentage was not as brilliant as in the previous game, we scored more than 100 points. Seven players scored 10 or more, plus Amath had eight. We had a great defensive mindset, forced 28 turnovers and dominated the rebounding battle again.
