Dimitris Itoudis, CSKA head coach:
Congratulations to the team on a well-deserved victory. Loko deserves a lot of credit, we had a very difficult series. Leading 2-0, we relaxed in Game 3, played sloppy, allowed too much to their main players - Motley, McCollum and Burford - and the young guys. We took a step back, but everything changed in the Game 4, everyone gave a little more than usually. After a bad start, 30-17, we won the next two quarters 33-59 combined, dominating on defense and offense. Problems with the electronic equipment on the arena played against us, we stopped at some point, but did not lose control of the game. We took this victory and a ticket to the final.
