Kirill Temirov: “We showed character, that’s priceless”

The Lokomotiv Kuban forward played 35 minutes on the court against Uralmash, scoring 19 points, making 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 1 block and getting the best plus-minus on the team (+24).
You've set your career-high in the VTB United League. How does it make you feel?
I've said it many times before: I don't care how many points I score, the only important thing is our team's victory. We're here without Patrick [Miller], without Kash [Robertson]. We came with a Russian roster, bringing two of our brothers, Vince [Hunter] and [Jeremiah] Martin. We showed character, and that's priceless. So congratulations to everyone who watched, supported us, and was here in the arena. Congratulations to all our fans!
We praised you for your first dunk a couple of games ago, but since then, not a single game has gone by without you dunking. What's going on?
We just work really well with our conditioning coach, and he tells me: go ahead, dunk every game. Today, I was lucky with my first dunk–just ran away. Then there was a second time, but I barely made it. My legs kind of let me know.
