Khimki Moscow has not played a road game yet and that can make all the difference according to the Russian scorer.
As he said: “We just played three games and have a lot more after that. We played three home games, so we will see how we play on the road in the next two. We can’t speak about the playoffs at the beginning of the season”.
He also commented the game against Crvena Zvezda: “Like all Serbian teams, Zvezda played hard and physical. They showed us today they can play well and there are no easy teams in the EuroLeague. We just played hard today until the end, stayed together all night and this is why we won”.
Zvezda’s coach Dusan Alimpijevic added: “We were good in the first half, but played without concentration in the third quarter, maybe for five, six minutes, I don’t know exactly. For this game, that is enough if you have Khimki against you. Maybe that was the key period for this game. Also, the second thing, which is very important in games like this, is the concentration at shooting free throws and today we didn’t have that. We have a much smaller budget than others but showed we can play with everyone, especially when we play at home. Our chances are bigger at home, of course.”
