Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
— Despite the fact that we have already qualified for Eurocup Last 32, we plan to take first place in our group, so we need a win over Hapoel Migdal. It's also a do or die game for Hapoel as they want to go further they need this victory so much. First game in Jerusalem turned to be very tough and I'm happy we managed to suppress our opponent in the second overtime although we could solve our problems earlier. Hapoel added to its roster ex-Maccabi T-A forward Eliyahu recently who had good games for his new club. In comparison with the beginning of the season Halperin plays much better, Kitchen also performs well. We are ready and, for sure, have only one goal – to win this game.
