The Loko guard set his personal scoring record in the VTB United League – 14 points – in the winning game against Pari Nizhny Novgorod (95:72).
- What was the main factor of today's victory?
- After a long break, we stayed fresh, ran well. The opponent, on the contrary, got tired. We also won the rebounds. I think this was the key to victory. In all their previous games, Pari NN was very aggressive in rebounding, due to which they had second and even third chances in attack, but we managed to contain them.
- It looked like there was a lot of hard contact in the game...
- I agree. Everyone is preparing for us in a special way, as for the last game. Every team is trying to upset us and impose a tough game.
- Are you happy with your performance today?
- I probably justified the coach's trust in this match, but I'm still not completely satisfied with myself. There's still work to do. But overall, I'm glad I managed to score a lot of points today.
- What do expect from the next game, against CSKA?
- I don't like to make predictions, but I think the game in Moscow will be very tough. I'm sure CSKA really wants to beat us. But so do we. We're very happy that we extended our winning streak in Nizhny Novgorod, and we don't plan to stop – we want to keep winning.
