POST-GAME QUOTES
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"I am glad that we have won. It’s always tough to play at Zenit. But being a coach I am not satisfied with the way we played at the end of the game. There were two different halves. Our players believed in the victory too early and Zenit used it very well. They got back in the game and the last minutes were even. I am glad that we won in such a game".
