Euroleague TV selected midfielder Nikol Milutinov, who was recognized as December’s most useful basketball player, as the best player of the match.
“It’s not just about me, it’s about the whole team. They all play for each other. We support each other a lot. We played as a team and that’s why we were victorious ”, said Nikola Milutinov after the victory, who scored 10 points in the Žalgiris basket and bounced 14 balls, 8 of which were still in the first half.
Milutinov grabbed as many balls (5) as almost all of Žalgiris’s team (7). CSKA won the fight under the board even 43-22.
A reporter for the TV Euroleague wondered why the Serb did not smile after winning the match. It looks like he was shot down by the rapids Žalgiris.
“It just came to our notice then. They play fast and it wasn’t easy to fight them,” a giant 213cm sweat from Serbia was sweating.
“Nobody said it would be easy,” said tall Tornikė Šengelija, who contributed 18 points and 7 rebounds to the victory. – We know that this is a very serious team. If you don’t play 100 percent, it will be very difficult against them. But we play very seriously. We made a lot of mistakes, but the most important thing is that we won ”.

The EuroLeague champions set the tone in the first half, which was the most ineffective for Žalgiris this season, with just 11 points, 1 of two out of seven and three of ten out of ten.
CSKA coach Dimitris Itoudis was proud of these figures.
“Congratulations to the team. They were very focused. Our defense was what we wanted. We let the Basques score 64 points in two quarters. And today we have kept the very athletic and very talented team very low, especially against their standards, D.Itoudis told Euroleague TV. – The defense gave tone. They all contributed greatly to the victory. When we weren’t playing without two developers, Mike James played a great game. He played a lot of minutes (33 minutes, 21 points), but created many good opportunities for both himself and the team. Good win. “
CSKA leads the Euroleague with 15 wins and 4 losses. For “Žalgiris” there were 8 defeats in 19 games.
