Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:

We were the better team for most of the game, but in the final quarter we showed poor tactical discipline and therefore missed the victory. We had to move the ball better, finish the set plays, defend more aggressively and not allow our opponents to beat us one-on-one.
