Ramunas Cvirka, BC Khimki Youth team head coach:

— Before the game I told the players that all would depend on defense. We lost only 57 points — it's a good result but we failed in the first quarter — couldn't cope with opponent's defense and attack. Moreover we did all our best at rebounding. I'm glad we did a few turnovers in comparison with the last season (10 to 19). All the guys were of benefit today. We try to make progress from game to game. I suppose tomorrow we'll see another Lokomotiv — more concentrated and tough but we are ready to face it.
