Andreas Pistiolis, CSKA head coach:
I want to thank the fans who came to Megasport today and supported us. Regarding the game, I can't say I'm happy. We started off strong and played well, but then we completely lost focus. We conceded 36 points in the second quarter, and that's completely unacceptable for our team and my philosophy. We started playing a little more seriously, but I expected much more from my team, and this game left me feeling dissatisfied.
