This is what the protagonists had to say after the Round 25 showdown between CSKA Moscow and ALBA Berlin.
Post-game quotes: CSKA vs. ALBA
Andreas Pistiolis, assistant coach, CSKA Moscow
"In general we were good. We executed our game plan. I really need to give credit to my players. They went through a lot today to play and they gave their heart. They executed everything we prepared in a short practice. Even though I don't want to single out individuals, I really want to congratulate a little bit extra Will Clyburn and Joel Bolomboy, who played through immense pain and sacrificed themselves for the team. And that is really important for us."
Israel Gonzalez, head coach, ALBA Berlin
"We were playing good basketball until the last quarter when we were not as strong physically as them. They played with more energy, were stronger. The last quarter was the difference."

"[The connection with Alexey Shved] was amazing today. I think we really played good together. Not only us but the whole team played a really good game. Every player who came to the court gave something to the team. And this is why we won the way we won tonight."
Alexey Shved, guard, CSKA Moscow
"We played good and really moved the ball. Niko [Milutinov]is a smart player who can make good screen-and-rolls. He catches the ball really well so it's always easier to play together with him. Today, I am just happy to win. [About reaching 3,000 points] I feel great. We have a lot more games, we cannot stop after this one. Just prepare for the next one."
