Press-conference
Murat Didin, the head coach of Skyliners:
— Now it is very difficult period for our team. Today we played without key players from starting line. In our roster there were only 8 players. But our guys wanted to win, they played with heart and such problems only unite the team. We are happy to visit Khimki. The gym, the atmosphere, the fans, the conditions are very good. And I wish BC Khimki good luck and reach the final.


Kestutis Kemzura, the BC Khimki head coach:
— I am happy because of the victory. I am satisfied with the result. In the difficult for us moment my guys gave not way to panic and gained the initiative. Before the match I was afraid that our players couldn’t dispose themselves on the tense struggle. I know Murat Didin since my work in Turkey and I understood, Didin wouldn’t surrender. I can mark Vitaly Fridzon and Mike Wilkinson.
