Post-game quotes
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"Before the start of the competition, we knew that our group was tough and balanced. After 8 games, all teams have chances to reach the Top 16. Congratulations to Crvena Zvezda. They played terrific for all 40 minutes. We struggled in the fourth quarter, allowing a lot of offensive rebounds, which was the key for Zvezda to win the game".
Zoran Dragic, BC Khimki guard:
"We have some mistakes, allowing Crvena Zvezda to score too many easy points, especially in the second half. It is all open now and we are going to fight hard to make it to the Top 16."
