Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
First of all, as always, I want to thank the fans. I understand it wasn't easy to come to this game. This is our second home game in a row this week. The weather obviously wasn't conducive, and the timing wasn't ideal, but nevertheless, a lot of people came, which is very important for us. Regarding the game, I'm very happy that the team approached it very seriously, showed motivation, concentration, and respect for their opponent. All this led to us playing good basketball. I hope everyone enjoyed the game. At the same time, Samara is in a very difficult situation, but I must say they're doing everything they can: they're playing seriously, fighting hard, and I wish them all the best in the future.
