The Lokomotiv-Kuban guard played his best game of the current playoffs: his 13 points and team-high plus-minus (+18) helped secure a victory over Zenit (85:81) and narrow the deficit in the bronze-medal series (1–2).
- What can you say about the game?
- It was an exciting game—just like the playoffs should be. I think the spectators were entertained. It’s great that we came away with the win. I’m happy, but the job isn’t done yet. All our thoughts are on Game 4 now.
- What did the coach say after the game?
- That he wants to see the same energy from us in every game. We were lacking that at the start of the series. So today, the coach congratulated us and said we need to build on this success.
- What exactly had changed Loko's game comparing to the start of the series?
- We were counting on our home court and our dear fans to help us out. I absolutely love playing in an atmosphere like the one we had today. That’s probably why we managed to score in decisive moments this time—shots that hadn't gone in during previous games. It’s wonderful to have fans like ours, and we’re moving forward together with them.
