PRE-GAME QUOTES
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"In this game we need control of the situation and the discipline most of all. In the Euroleague you can’t make any mistakes, it doesn’t matter if in first or fourth quarters. In addition, I would like to point out personal responsibility for the decisions. We need stability and discipline on the court. Bayern plays as you let them play. The game in Munich showed this. After tough plays with Real Madrid and CSKA Moscow we had an away game with Bayern and we suffered a lack of energy and discipline a little bit. Now we have to keep our own rhythm and maintain it during all the game. Their main features are aggression and activity. If we start this game like Fenerbahce did last week, we’ll be able to control them".
Sergey Monya, BC Khimki forward:
"We have four more games in the regular season and need all this wins to be confident before the Top 16. Our main mistake in Munich was that we allowed our opponent to have a lead from the very beginning, then we made some turnovers and it was tough to overtake the Bayern team. So now, we’ll try to show our power and won’t relax, in that case we will be able to win. Bayern plays well at home and they have a well-known coach Pesic who scored many trophies. I practiced and played under him. He demands maximum concentration and going all out from the players. They have many players in the roster who can make result on the court".
