Despite amazing performance of bigman Paul Davis (32 pts and 7 boards), BC Khimki didn't manage to find solution on BC Ostende's triples and suddenly lost in the very first game of Turkish Airlines Euroleague QR — 79-90. So our team will continue its 2013/2014 European campaign in Eurocup!
BC Khimki: Davis (32 + 7 rebounds + 2 steals), Koponen (16), Augustine (7 + 8 rebounds), Green (6 + 7 rebounds + 7 assists + 2 steals), Vyaltsev (5 + 3 rebounds), Popovic (5 + 2 assists), Gelabale (4 + 5 rebounds), Monya (2), Loncar (2), Balashov
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
— We are very upset. Before the game there were a lot of talks that we were the favorites, and I was very alarmed about such thoughts. It seemed that victory was to come into our hands. Yes, we have a name, but we must constantly reaffirm this name and defend it on the court. Today, we have not done our job. BC Ostend may have shown its best game. As you see, attitude, discipline, and desire win mastery. So now our goal is winning EuroCup.
