POST-GAME QUOTES
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"First of all, I would like to thank all the fans for their support. The arena played a huge role in the final three points. I would say that the team played as hard as it could. We could have played better if we had more control. A team like Khimki should never give up a 17-0 run, even without timeouts. If you compare our two games with CSKA, then we are a different team. We're more cohesive. This game was important mentally since CSKA has been extremely good all season. We'll try to improve in a few areas. Yes, and the statistics says that we played like a team. 28 assists is a lot. I'd also like to note Petteri Koponen who is starting to play like a true leader".
