PRE-GAME QUOTES

Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:

"This is a decisive game for us and for Olympiacos also. It will be very difficult and tough to match them. We need to play with confidence and patience all 40 minutes. They have a very strong team and have signed two new players recently. To my mind, Olympiacos is one of the best teams in Europe at the moment".

Tyler Honeycutt, BC Khimki forward:

"It will be a tough game. We played with them in Greece in one of the hottest gyms in Europe. Now we are home and I hope it will help us. It’s a must win for us because we can be out in case of a loss. We’ll see what to do to stop their leaders and how to guard against them. I think it will be a different way of defense that hopefully helps us win the game. Probably, the strongest side of Olympiacos is their experience. They have couple of new players who didn’t play last time. I think they will help them".
