POST-GAME

Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:

"It was like two games in one. In the first half Valencia played well, they ran well, scored a lot and we played bad defense. In the second half we improved, but at the right time we came back. We were in too much of a hurry, we needed some patience. I hope we can improve some details, despite the fact that they are one of the best teams in Spain and in Europe, I think we have chances in the next game".

Marko Todorovic, BC Khimki center:

"In the beginning we didn’t enter the game as we should have in a big game like this one, but we had a reaction, we played better... They had a lot of rebounds. It looked impossible at halftime and in the and we had the ball to tie, so that should be good for us in next game".
