Post-game quotes
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"I'm happy to win this game because it’s hard to win here. Strasbourg is a great team. They won against Fenerbahce and Madrid. We were prepared for this type of game, a tough game. Strasbourg played very well during three quarters, but we made the difference during the fourth, at the end of the game. This is a good victory for us".
Alexey Shved, BC Khimki guard:
"Everybody played hard and it was a tough game. We played it until the end. Five minutes before the end, the winner was unknown. We just made couple more shots".
