CSKA vs. Khimki Moscow Region: 79-61 (+18)
Jonas Kazlauskas, CSKA head coach:
It is too early to hear the praises. Surely, we are happy to have 2-0 lead but we expect to play much more difficult game in Khimki. To compare with the previous game, we weren’t so good on the boards without Kirilenko. It was especially evident in the first half when Khimki had 7 offensive rebounds to none ours. At the same time we defended perimeter better and that led to approximately the same result. It’s bad that with 17-20-point advantage this season we let ourselves to be relaxed. And with 6-7 points in a row by our opponents I have to shake the team.
