CSKA – Pau Orthez: 78-58

Ettore Messina, CSKA Head coach

- It was our first game after a long pause caused of celebrations. I am pleased that we were concentrated enough to work hard at defense and wait for our chance at offence. When we caught it we never missed it then. We scored 29 points in the third quarter. I am happy that most of the players demonstrated smart and beauty basketball today. The team was ready both physically and mentally.


Herbert Gordon, EB Pau Orthez Head coach

- I am pleased with our effort. But we made 25 turnovers! The level of CSKA's intensity today was different comparing with our home game against Russian team. Post defense of CSKA was a key also: as you all see, our leader Wright was locked. However, our tempo was not that bad and the first half gave us a hope. But first 3-4 minutes of the third quarter put us away by 15 points. And it's inadmissible with CSKA.
