John Jenkins: “We matched our opponents’ energy in the second half”

The American guard made a good debut for Lokomotiv Kuban, scoring 9 points in important moments of the game against Pari NN (75:67).
How can you rate your debut?
Yeah, it was a great first game. It was good to get out there with the team. I had two practices before I got out there, so I had a little bit of time to get to know my teammates. But, you know, I've been playing a long time, so I was very excited to get out there and very happy to get a win.
How hard was it to take a victory today?
It was very tough. The opponents were very physical. I kind of figured it would be that way. They were very hungry to win and we matched their energy in the second half.
What helped Loko win?
I think we just finally got it together. Started getting some stops, getting in transition. Pat[rick Miller] and Taj[here McCall] hit me for two good threes and from there, I think we just took over.
