Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
As always, I’d like to thank the fans who came to the arena today and created a fantastic atmosphere. Obviously, after the break we had between games in February, we lost a bit of our rhythm, and I'm not happy with the quality of our performances since then. At the same time, it's very important to me as a coach that my team always finds ways to win. This was perhaps our worst game this season in terms of shooting. Nevertheless, we managed to score 91 points and win. And in the second half, we improved our defense. We allowed only one three-pointer after the break and forced 20 turnovers.
