Avtodor head coach:
“It was probably very interesting game to watch. We were two different teams in the first and the second halves. It was really tough game for us especially because we didn’t have full roster for this matchup. Unfortunately, Anthony Ireland was injured but as I said before the game I truly believed in these guys and they were able to win this game. The coach of Tsmoki Minsk is doing very good job with the players. I know it’s difficult to win any game in the VTB League because it’s extremely strong competition with a lot of talented players in every team. Tonigh Tsmoki confirmed they have made a progress playing better as a team and more aggressive defensively. Of course, it was essential to show our improvements from that two-month period since our previous game against Tsmoki Minsk at home and take a revenge. I should also mention that I am satisfied with the dedication and energy the players demonstrate at the practices.”
