Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:

— We will face a very good team of Maccabi Haifa Bazan that won Israeli championship last season. The team has a leader in Donta Smith who plays shooting guard or small forward. He’s a very strong player, a true leader on the court. Maccabi plays intelligent and fast basketball and has quite smart results in Eurocup and national championship so far. We have only three home games in Last 32 so each win is extremely important, especially at home.
