Defender CSKA Casper Items who scored 44 points in the quarterfinal match of the VTB United League Super Cup against Lokomotiv-Kuban, said that this result was the best in his career.

The most productive player of the meeting was Ware, who scored 44 points. The teams from Krasnodar and Istanbul reached the semi-finals of the tournament.
— How often can you give such a performance?
– Few people are capable of this. Today was my day, but we still lost. It is the most important.
—What didn’t allow you to win?
— Opponents’ offensive rebounds. They had a lot of second chances, that’s why they won.
— How much has CSKA been hampered by injuries?
– Of course, they intervened. But there is no need to make excuses. We have a lot of guys who can play basketball at a high level. If someone gives up, others must take their place. It’s not about pitches and hits – opponents showed more desire. We need to solve this problem, the season is already upon us.
— Have you ever managed to score 44 points or more?
— Before, I scored 40, no more. It’s my best result,” Weir was quoted as saying by a correspondent.
