POST-GAME QUOTES
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
— Congratulations to Zenit on very good and very desired win. We just played very good game in Krasnodar against very strong opponent and away game took away much power. Of course, it's not an excuse for us, just a real situation. Now we lost because of the lack of energy and physical conditions. In the end because of that we couldn't defense against pick and rolls. I again congratulate Zenit, as for us we have work to do.
