CSKA and Khimki meetings are especially interesting in past years. You can be sure that the same special game will be played again on Saturday, when last season BEKO PBL finalists will clash in Khimki.

“Khimki is the opponent number one for us”, - CSKA coach Jonas Kazlauskas said. “It was difficult to play against them last season, we lost in the VTB League Final Four, we had problems in the final series. Khimki play good basketball right now, they don’t have any injury problems, besides they will play in front of their fans. I am sure that a lot of people will also come to support us, and we will do our best to make this game interesting.”

The question number one for the fans remains unanswered. Andrei Kirilenko joined his teammates for practices yesterday, but no one predicts if he will play tomorrow.
