Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
— First of all, I would like to thank our guys for all the 40 minutes of dirty work. We acted not well in defense during first two quarters, but in the third and fourth ones we succeed in defensive actions. Good defense is a key to a victory. Today we have been more aggressive, and despite the fact we played five matches in the semifinal, we looked fresher in the end. I think that we won deservedly.
