PRE-GAME QUOTES

Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:

“It's a very important game for us that we will play without Shved, Evans and Hummel. After loss to CSKA we must be very concentrated and focused for a win. Kalev plays really well. They have good structure with a leader in Demonte Harper but other guys are also very good”.
