“We are on the rise right now. We had a poor game against Lokomotiv-Kuban that we lost in the clutch, and tonight we showed the desirable basketball against Astana in the first half. We allowed only 27 points. I really like the way we found seven players that helped us win the game. Maybe we shortened the rotation but it was the situation that we can face not only in the VTB United League but in EuroLeague as well. I am happy the guys stand tough schedule and it works. We will continue to work”.
