With 17 points, the Lokomotiv Kuban became the top scorer in the winning game against Avtodor (91:67).
I played for Avtodor for many years, and today I was pleased very much by how warmly the fans greeted me here; I thank them for that.
As for the game, we knew our opponent was trying to play hard and fast year after year. And so it turned out: even though today was the first game of the season for some Avtodor players, their start was powerful. But we responded well, and gradually turned the game around.
