EXCHANGE OF OPINIONS

Kresimir Loncar:

– It is a very important and principled game for us, because the opponent ranks the same place in the PBL Championship standings as we do. We have an equal number of victories and defeats, and the success in this meeting will promote BC Khimki one step above. In addition, we must gain revenge for annoying fiasco in November. We go to St. Petersburg to win. Now we feel quite well: two last victories gave back confidence to us. The game with Spartak is just the first step in a series of heavy battles with our direct competitors for the prize, Lokomotiv and UNICS. The most dangerous basketball player in the rival's camp is Domercant, who scored in the first match more than 30 points. But we always have a fighting spirit!
