POST-GAME
Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:
“Very difficult game. Avtodor played really very well without any pressure. They made excellent shots and moved the ball. We won this game with offense but to win serious games we need all defense. Tonight we didn't play good defense but we won with offense. An important win for us”.
