Post-game quotes

Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:

"All three games in the series were similar. We didn't start today's game very well, but then we settled down on offense and played okay on defense. In the end, we won this round convincingly. Now we have time to rest and prepare for the semifinals with CSKA. We'll think about the Army Men in a few days, but it's already obvious that they have a very strong team, one of the best in Europe. But my players want to be in the finals and we will fight".
