PRE-GAME QUOTES
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"We play against Banvit at home and it’s our game. A one-point loss on the road is the best outcome we could have had according to the Eurocup format. Now everything depends on us. We have energy, desire and great hunger to enter the finals. We realize that this game is the most important for us so far. So we are waiting for Banvit to gain revenge".
Maxim Sheleketo, BC Khimki forward:
"Banvit is a strong team that reached Eurocup semifinals by right. We have to give a hundred and ten percent to go to final series. The first game on the road turned to be tough for us as it’s always difficult to play in Turkey in front of their fans. Now we have to play our game as on defense as on rebounding. We should stop their leader in Rowland and other shooters as well as big guys. We are seriously preparing for this game".
