PRE-GAME QUOTES

Georgios Bartzokas, BC Khimki head coach:

“First of all, we need to forget everything that happened yesterday, which is not easy at all. Right now, we need to prepare the team mentally and play one more hard game without having a lot of players. Our roster is really exhausted from all the season, and basically it's a mind game. There are not too much tactical or physical things, just mental effort playing against best team in VTB League. We'll try to do our best to be competitive”.
