CSKA Moscow coach Dimitris Itoudis was talking about some of the specifics of his team’s win over Baskonia in Game 3 of the EuroLeague playoffs when he noticed some laughs that were heard in the press conference room.
“As you can see, we shot almost the same amount of two-pointers, we have the same amount of three-pointers, there is a little bit of difference in free throws but this happens,” Itoudis said. “We have the same offensive rebounds but the turnovers…”
Then Itoudis stopped talking about the match and asked a question directed to a person in the room.
“Did I say something that makes you smile? Are you sure? You don’t lie? Ok, because if you lie, you lie to yourself. Just so you know, I’m very serious. You can explain to me why you laugh?” Itoudis asked before continuing analyzing the game.
“So, the turnovers are something I don’t like for sure. We’re gonna analyze it, we gotta be much better in Game 4. We have to analyze if it were turnovers because we were static and just turned the ball over or if Baskonia played good defense and forced some turnovers.”
CSKA reclaimed homecourt advantage and can finish the series in Game 4 Friday (26/4). Baskonia, on the other hand, has a “win or go home” match to play.
