PRE-GAME QUOTES

Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:

“This is final and everything is possible. Obviously, CSKA is a favorite; they play very well and finished regular season at first position. But we think we have option and we will fight for it. We must forget about all problems and think only about playing strong all forty minutes”.
