POST-GAME
Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:
“It was not our basketball, but Zenit's game. Many shots practically without defense. Our game means hard defense all forty minutes and patience. Tonight we started playing only with offense. If you play against Zenit like this, they will have an advantage”.
