Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:

Thank you to our fans for their support. It's great to have them around, and we're happy to give them the win. I want to give credit to the Loko fans; there was a fantastic atmosphere in the arena, making it a pleasure to play in, and it was very positive. We had a great first half. And in the second, we gave our opponents a lot of opportunities. They played smart and with a desire to win. Looking at the statistics, two things were crucial. Although we won the rebounds overall, we missed a lot of rebounds at key moments. Our opponents also played aggressively and earned a lot of free throws; it's rare to see 38 shots from the line by one team.
