POST-GAME QUOTES

Rimas Kurtinaitis, BC Khimki head coach:

"First of all, I'm very happy that we won because this game, like the game with CSKA, was a battle between powerhouse clubs. No one's going to underestimate the opponent in a game like this and everything is decided by skill. Lokomotiv beat CSKA twice and hasn't lost once in the Eurocup. It's a very strong team individually and it knows how to win. This win helped us regain 1st place in the standings, which is very important. I'd like to thank the guys for their effort. When you play your hardest, success follows you. Pateev couldn't help us today. He's a little sick. I hope we can get him ready for the next game".
