This is what the protagonists of the game had to say after such a close deal down the stretch.
Post-Game Quotes: Lokomotiv 90-62 Lietkabelis



Branko Maksimovic, Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar
“We really played well. Maybe at some times, we lost a little control. We made a game plan for their offensive rebounds and our turnovers. They only had 9 offensive rebounds and we only had 9 turnovers. We shared the ball very well; we had 21 assists. That means we played as a team on offense. That was the key. Their team has a lot of potential. It’s not just their two main guys. But we have more potential. Our young guys needed to step forward and take responsibility and show their quality on the court. This is very important for us: for everybody to take one step forward and take responsibility for great assists, great defense, great shots. That made our team stronger.”

“First of all, we gave them too many offensive rebounds. We allowed too many and-ones. That means we played very softly. There were six or seven times when they scored two-plus-one. We were very soft today. We tried to do something with some different types of defense. It didn’t work. I can say that’s on me. But we played without energy.”
Vladislav Emchenko, Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar
“Congratulations to the Loko family: team, coaches, supporters. We were ready for this game. We have a couple of players who were out with injuries and we had to change our game. Lietkabelis also had some players who were out. The coaches did a good job preparing a plan for the game. We started with good defense and shared the ball on offense. And this was the result."
