Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:

— In my opinion, when the players come off the bench, they should enhance the game of the team that happened today. We played all forty minutes without slowing the tempo. I think this game is not a single one and we are on the right track. However, I'm concerned about the number of our mistakes, as the masters of such level should not be mistaken in simple situations. Also, we can not fix defensive rebounds, and today allowed our opponent to get 14 offensive boards. It is our weak point that we need to fix. Game with Azovmash is a good rehearsal before tough road Eurocup meeting with CSU Asesoft Ploiesti.
