BC Khimki head coach Kestutis Kemzura at the press-conference said that he was happy with the result in match against “Koeln” but not the performance of his team.
— It was difficult situation; we didn’t know will we play today or not. But I was happy to know that the match will take place and our opponent found new sponsor.
We started well, but we decided that it would be enough for the victory. And “Koeln” played with heart and passion. German team wasn’t under the pressure. I am happy, that our team shacked itself and started to dictate the game.
Sasa Obradovic, the “Koeln 99” head coach:
— BC Khimki is the favorite. The Moscow Region team is tone of the strongest in Europe. And won recently the Russian Cup. Today BC Khimki played better and won deserved. And I congratulate my collegue – Kestutis Kemzura.
