Kirill Yelatontsev: “We didn’t take advantage of their excessive fouls”

The Loko center told about his emotions after the game against Zenit (71:77), in which he scored 16 points.
What prevented you from winning?
We didn't take advantage of their excessive fouls at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. For some reason, we switched to three-point shots, stopped playing aggressively in the paint, and Zenit immediately punished us for that. Then, at the beginning of the 4th quarter, we lost focus for a while, which, of course, we shouldn't have done – this opponent doesn't forgive such mistakes.
How hard was it for you to play against Zenit's bigmen?
To be honest, today I didn't feel that they were 100% into the game. I think the main result was made by their back court.
How will this result affect your mood before the next game?
We want to keep winning. So now we need to analyze our mistakes and properly prepare for the game with PARMA.
