Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:
"We were worried about Astana, because we know how they can play at home. We had some problems due to the schedule and long flights. But we managed to stay focused. The guys were very focused on the court and played excellent defense. I'm happy we could secure this win".
