Post-game quotes

Dejan Radonjic, Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade head coach:

“Congratulations to Khimki. Today we played well for only seven minutes and after that Khimki showed the quality of their team in comparison to ours. They played very well offensively and shot many three-pointers with good percentages. So the difference was growing and ended in the big difference at the end of the game. We are expecting a lot of work. It’s not simple to come to Moscow with two new players in the roster and play against such a great team like Khimki. We also missed two injured players. Because of that we had to be smart and make them be more active”.

Maik Zirbes, Crvena Zvezda Telekom Belgrade center:

“Today we lost our principles as our opponent played better in offense. We didn’t play the right way at all like we wanted to. Khimki is a great team and today we saw what kind of players they have. They are high quality team, not only every player himself, but also as a team. We still didn’t find the right balance in the team as Stimac joined the team only yesterday. Also Quincy is not so long with us. We are still in search for our team together”.

Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:

“It’s a good victory and I’m happy for the way we played today with good energy, activity and effort. Everyone who was on the court gave the maximum effort. I’m happy for the result and for the fact that before our next VTB United League game we saved some players. Everyone played 20 minutes. I would like to thank all my guys for the job we did tonight. Today we showed good two — and three-point percentages. But we didn’t start the game as we had wanted. I think this season we started the game in the right way only versus Real Madrid at home”.

James Augustine, BC Khimki forward:

“We played well tonight, but the opponent had a quick start in the beginning. Our bench came in and did well. I mean Zoran Dragic, Paul Davis and Alexey Shved played well. Coach found roles for everyone else in the roster. It’s tough to say why we started so softly. We changed a lot of things and offensively turned the ball couple of times and missed couple of shots. A lot of energy came off the bench tonight as they did a really great job”.
