The head coach of BC «Lokomotiv-Kuban» Kestutis Kemzura answered a great number of journalists’ questions after the match. His colleague the coach of «Krasnye Krylia» Mikhail Mikhailov didn’t come to the press-conference.


 — As we expected the game turned up very intensive. We lost much power and emotions after the exorbitant series with «Dynamo» and we lost players too — Owens and Sheleketo. «Krasnye Krylia» has also losses but they spent absolutely different play-off series before and with the different opponent. Tonight we didn’t play well in the third quarter: we made mistakes, travelled, executed turnovers. We stalled in offense and our defense fell out of step. However all’s well that ends well. We won five points, held out the overtime. I am glad with Vzdykhalkin’s three at the decisive moment. Tonight Jakov played excellently (Vladovich, annotation). He has read the whole game.
 — It seemed that our team spent the first three quarters without emotions.
 — We tried to be gear up for the game. The players understand everything but such things happen after extremely emotional and intensive series.
 — Сan you agree that it was the best match of Vladovich for this season?
 — I am glad that he played well. Since now there has been great responsibility on his shoulders. He a principal play-maker of the team. Grigoriev is too young yet, he lacks for the experience. I am sure that Vladovich is able to play much better. Tonight he displayed I expected from him.
 — Why has been Savenkov playing little?
 — I test the other players. Sasha is to be ready to come into the floor. His strong aspect is rebounds but he has some gaps in an attack. He helped us in the series with «Dynamo» although played little. The time will come when he plays better.
 — How has scandal audio influenced on the refereeing of «Lokomotiv» matches?
 — «Lokomotiv» has been turned into a scapegoat. I have been told that «Krasnye Krylia» are making up a protest. We understand that since now everyone will make up protests against us in any case. I respect judges’ decisions.
 — And how has scandal audio influenced on the team?
 — The worst thing is that we lost the series to «Dynamo». If we would have won it everything would be otherwise. Scandal influenced us not in the best way. Emotionally at first. We are looking for the ways how to go out of this mood.
 — Will we see Owens and Sheleketo next games?
 — Sheleketo has been operated in Moscow. His season is over. As for Owens I have not known yet. He has an inflammation. If we have time to cure him of he will come into the court. We will try to cure.
