POST-GAME

Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:

"No game tonight; we will see the next one. We want to win next game but we must play differently. It's impossible to win CSKA if in 20 minutes they score almost 60 points. We don't have quality to play offensive basketball against CSKA. We must play good defense, fight and be patient in offense. This is our possibility for third game. Today Todorovic couldn't play; he played fifth game vs. Zenit with injection but he is injured now. He tried two days ago but couldn't finish. We'll see but now I don't know if he is able to play".
