Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:

— As we expected, the game was tough. I think all the fans enjoyed the game. I’m happy for this win. We felt a lot of pressure in the first and second quarters, but I’m happy that our players, not for the first time, showed their character and didn’t fold and stumble when we were trailing. We played as well as we could for 40 minutes. Today everyone played well, and I don’t want to single anyone out, but the star, of course, was James Augustine. He played the best basketball of his life, and brought his team a win with his 30-plus points.
