Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
First of all, I'd like to thank our fans for making it to Krasnodar; it's always important to have them around. As for the game, it was a very close and intense one. We had to overcome obstacles, injuries during the game, and a poor start. Ultimately, we pulled ourselves together and played the basketball we're supposed to play on offense and defense, and we got the result we wanted.
