POST GAME

Georgios Bartzokas, BC Khimki head coach:

“It was a tight game in the first half, I mean for 16 or 17 minutes. In the last three minutes of the first half and twenty minutes of the second half we were very serious defensively. We allowed Parma to score 29 points in the second half. Obviously, this serious approach was the key for the game. I have to admit that Parma has a much better team than last year; they have athleticism and share the ball. If we allowed them to play their rhythm, we could have problems during the game. Congratulations to our team”.
