GAME NOTES

Khimki and ASVEL met earlier in 2011/2012 EuroCup Top 16 campaign where our team won both game.

PRE-GAME QUOTES

Andrey Maltsev, Khimki Moscow Region interim head coach:

“ASVEL is a very serious team with great potential, which plays physically strong and athletic basketball. They have a good center Fall, who "closes the sky", but we have the experience of playing against such players, which was in the recent games against ALBA and Real. We have learned from those mistakes, our team has recovered, and we are preparing for this game in normal mode. Our main goal is to prevent ASVEL from playing their fast basketball, stop their fastbreaks, stop their early offense and let them score no more than 70 points”.

Jordan Mickey, Khimki Moscow Region forward:

“Tomorrow is our last home EuroLeague game. Sad to see this. Hopefully our fans will come out and give us a great support so we can hopefully finish it strong”.
