ULEB Cup. After match 5 december 2007
BC Khimki head coach Kestutis Kemzura at the press-conference said that he was dlad with the result in match against Pamesa but today his team had a luck.
— Success smiles at us. But I think that this happens to those that work hard. At the beginning we played bad in the defense; we permitted to Ruben Douglas to show his best. But we covered Williams and Milojevic. We have changed the defense line, Burke played some minutes very effective, these some unimportant at first sight became decisive in the match. Vladimir Dyachok got perfectly into the game. Anton Ponkrashov is a really hero of the match.
Anton Ponkrashov, BC Khimki guard:
— I am very happy. But I hope that my best games are in the future. Personal statistics does not matter. The result of the team is the most important for me.
Fotios Katsikaris, Pamesa Valencia Head Coach:
— That was an outstanding match today at a Euroleague level. Both teams attacked a lot and thrilled the fans with the entertaining, open basketball. I am proud of my players. They showed themselves to be the best side in the fight against a strong team. I consider Khimki to be one of the best clubs of Europe. But sometimes so it is at the end of tough games, one player scored and he becomes hero. Ponkrashov scored and solved the fate of the encounter.
