Andre Roberson: "We're going into the playoffs, we've got to work on things"

April 22, 2026
Zenit forward Andre Roberson commented on the home loss to CSKA (74:83) on the postgame press conference. The matchup was part of Round 40 of the VTB United League regular season.


— I think the main thing for us was just focusing on ourselves, understand we know the magnitude of this game, you know, the game was going back and forth and there's a couple crucial calls that didn't go our way that kind of affected our momentum, but it was very important for us to stick together and represent Zenit. Being down 25, we've got to keep fighting to the end of the buzzard, but coaching the test is this, we've got to, we're fighting and building for something bigger than just today. You know, we're going into the playoffs, we've got to work on things, clean up some things and go out there and obviously keep fighting to the end and bring some good energy going into the playoffs.


So, that was our main focus, to go out there and compete at a high level and I think we did that all the way to the end. 


— In the first quarter, there was a clear focus on three-point shots, and they were falling. Was that a deliberate game plan or more of a situational decision?


— A little bit of both, a little bit of game plan and a little bit of flow. I think the guys did a great job of going out there and reading the defense and their schematics and us, on the other hand, getting wide open shots and executing. So, we've got to continue to keep doing that, keep shooting the ball at a high clip and with confidence and, you know, continue to share the ball. So, I think first quarter we made some very decisive decisions pretty quickly and it worked to our benefit.
