Post-game quotes:
Pavel Googe, Vita Tbilisi head coach:
"This was just our third game. We are confident in our play and we'll continue building the team step by step. We used Khimki to get stronger, gain experience and figure out on video where we're not competitive. This was an excellent opportunity for us to grow".
Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"I think everyone enjoyed the game: both the fans and the players. I'm happy for the guys and for the effort they gave. Everyone played hard. Everyone got on the court and contributed to the win. Vita is a new team, which hasn't played international basketball in a long time and only recently came together. I'm happy that they want to play in a good league. They've had to play tough competition, but I think the Georgian club can put things together by the New Year".
