Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
— The first game against Maccabi Haifa turned out to be very easy as I didn’t expect it to be because our opponent is a very good team. Well, right now everything depends on Maccabi: if they win they can go further so we expect an extremely tough game. For sure, they will try to clinch this last chance and best us. Nevertheless we prepare for a win, our philosophy is to play 100 percent maximum against each team, regardless the tournament and the name of the rival, because we always want to win.
