Jasikevičius spoke.

Shar also highlighted rival leader Mike James, who, according to the Lithuanian, is extremely difficult to cover. “It just came to our attention then. Really impressive, I haven’t seen those stats yet. So, in addition to M. James, rebounding was also an important factor for us,” he said.

“I congratulate Barcelona and my friend Shar. They deserved the victory. As long as we had the strength and we were, if I may that word, we were fresh, we dominated and we played basketball well,” warned D. Itoudis after the game.
The CSKA strategist said his students started the game well, but were tired: “It was very clear when we had a 12 point lead and the mistakes started – section 4:13. Every mistake costs: we don’t have an attack and the opponents earn that double points. We don’t earn points, they earn profit, that’s -4. And when it is repeated three times? We quit the fight, scored more utility points, fewer errors, more assists and more rebounds, but 4 3s out of 21 is definitely not our stat. “
