Tomislav Tomović, the head coach at Lokomotiv Kuban PBC

Congratulations to Zenit on their victory; they deserved it with their desire. In my opinion, it wasn't tactics that mattered today, but the desire to win, and I'm very dissatisfied with this aspect of our team's performance today; we'll work on it. I don't think the opponent's three-point shooting was the key. We often play against teams that are good at shooting from afar, and we've beaten them many times, including recently in series against BETCITY PARMA and CSKA. I'll repeat that we were worse primarily in desire today—that's what led to some bad defensive plays. But I know our players are professionals. This loss won't derail us; we'll prepare well for the next game and get the result we need.
