POST-GAME QUOTES

Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:

— I would like to congratulate Besiktas on this win. They played well and showed the character. We controlled the game during 35 minutes but at last five minutes we lost our confidence and eventually lost everything. Especially we played bad on defensive rebounding and allowed the opponent to get five offensive boards in such important time. That was a key for Besiktas victory.
