PRE-GAME QUOTES

Georgios Bartzokas, BC Khimki head coach:

“The circumstances for the teams are not the same; they had more days to prepare for the game whereas we have problems with the roster and don't know how many players we will have. We'll see tomorrow at practice. This is the game we need to focus now. UNICS is a very good defensive team that has a lot of players from last year. They know how to play together. We think it's gonna be a very difficult game, especially under these circumstances. But we need to win; we need to fight”.
