PRE-GAME QUOTES

Georgios Bartzokas, BC Khimki head coach:

“We are in a transition period because Robinson is going to be with us at this game. He's just two days with us but we need to give him some playing time as we need him for EuroLeague games. We approach this game very seriously because at home VEF play very aggressively on offensive rebounding. Also, they have big men who can shoot the ball from outside. So, this is an important game for us because we know that don't have stability in the beginning of the season”.
