Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:

— Neptunas likes to play fast basketball and prefers early attacking. There are good three-point scorers in the team like Marius Runkauskas and Valdas Vasylius. Our opponent uses many defense options. In last three games they were down by one or two points, so they suffered luck a little bit. Neptunas is a dangerous team that can make troubles for every opponent. As for us, we know our goals. There are some improvements in our game, main players are back, but there are still a lot of work to be done. On Sunday we will miss Paul Davis again. The matter of Mike Green's participation in the game is still open.
