Pierre Vincent, Asvel Basket Head Coach:

— We were close, but at the end did some things wrong. In general I'm satisfied with my team – it was a good game for us. We knew that the game with Khimki would be difficult, but we reacted well; I can say we played okay against a top team. We are a young squad, and due to our control of the rebounds we had a chance. Nevertheless it was very good experience for Asvel.

Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki Head Coach:

— First of all, as we expected, the game didn’t turn out to be easy. Despite Asvel’s loss to Donetsk last week , they played well today. They didn’t give us a chance to realize our home advantage. We led, but it wasn’t easy. It was intriguing close to the end, but we were composed and eventually succeeded. I’m satisfied with the result, but not with the game.

Thomas Kelati, BC Khimki Guard:

— It was a tough game for us. Asvel is very athletic. I’m glad we won; winning at home is very important in the Eurocup. It was a good test for us. Asvel has a lot of energy, they are very intense on defense. We are an experienced team. I think I played more aggressive.
