POST-GAME QUOTES
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"First of all I want congratulate Banvit. They played a good game with a lot of energy and effort. And today they were a little bit better. But I'm happy with how we played today. We were close to winning. We lost by the maximum we can on this level of competition. To lose by 1 in Turkey against Banvit was not a bad score for us. We have a game in our home now. We will play with double energy and with better concentration. And finally I think this result is good for both teams. Banvit got a victory and we got a good result".
