Ettore Messina, CSKA head coach:
It was a good game in which I had a chance to rotate the players and give more playing time to Teo. I am glad that he reacted well. Cantu is a good team which is in the leading group of Italian league and which is having a good season so they provided good competition for us. We were trailing during the game but stepped up defensively in the last quarter, we moved the ball well, went up by 7 and controlled the game in the end even though I was not as worried about the result.
