Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
— Igokea was not very successful in the beginning of the season, as there were injured players, but gradually our opponent has grown stronger. Igokea performs well in Adriatic League so far and it scored a very important victory in Eurocup last week. It’s always tough to play in the Balkan countries; all the players are charged to fight so it will be a very difficult game for us. We need this win as we want to finish first leg of Eurocup group stage at the top. This week we had more time than usual that was good for our injured players. Hopefully this break won’t lead us astray.
