Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to players, it was a character win. Especially the way the game went, Milan had a momentum most of third quarter. We managed to cut the deficit quickly because the players believe in potential we have. We keep winning and it says that we have great potential and quality as a team. We got big help from Misha [Kulagin] again when the momentum was in the side of Milan. It says a lot. Another important fact is that we managed to force 17 turnovers out of the best team in that category that averaged around 10 this year. Chacho was giving a lesson of how we have to organize our game. Last and not least it is good to have Nando playing again on his level after the setback in Olympiacos game caused by migraine. Overall it was a good team win, win of character as I said.
