“Nothing is easy in life. We played like this with the huge respect we have for Zvezda”, explained the Greek coach of CSKA Moscow after the 85-59 win.
As he said: “We prepared very seriously for this game. We know they have quality. I think that today our team deserves a lot of congratulations because we made them look like that. Zvezda is very talented, but I think that on the defensive end, we followed most of the game plan, we were focused, we were determined and we managed to bring it to that end. You may say it was easy, but nothing is easy. Don’t forget that Zvezda was competitive in all games and beat here Barcelona and Maccabi, so we prepared the game very seriously. Congratulations to my team.”
CSKA Moscow‘s center Kyle Hines added: “It was a big victory for us, a big defensive victory, a big road victory. For us to get where we want to go in the future, we have to have these victories, important victories on the road.”
