Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
— The first game in Italy was tough but we managed to win and that was a great result for us. Montepaschi is a Euroleague team that plays smart; their performance in the Italian Cup stands for their strength despite a loss to Dinamo Sassari. We have to stop small players like Haynes, Green and Carter and our main goal is to block them in the offense. We won’t make huge changes in this game because you may go farther and fare worse. I suppose we have some advantage in physical conditions as Montepaschi played three games in a row so far. We’ll play for a win!
