Rimas Kurtinaitis:
— I am satisfied with the result and the very game. We had fast attacks, a lot of passes, good defense and good shooting percantage. I would like to note that we have shown the very team play — we made 33 assists, it says that the ball did not stay with any of the players. I think everyone enjoyed the game.
