Loko won 22 out of 30 Regular Season games and is on the 5th place in standings. Red-greens will start playoff series playing Khimki on road. The parallel series will be between CSKA and Nymburk.
- This was a very interesting game. Two teams, battling for 3rd place, went head-to-head. Obviously, it was hard for us to recover from the tough game against Barcelona, which we played in two days ago and which took a lot of strength and energy. Zenit played excellent basketball. I want to congratulate them on the win and wish them luck in the playoffs.
- Of course there are reasons behind this loss, it's hard to argue against that. Not all the players managed to save at least some emotions after the win in Euroleague Playoffs. We'll now have to practice for the Final Four during the series against Khimki, the importance of which is hard to be overestimated.
The other two quarterfinal series are between UNICS and Nizhny Novgorod, and Zenit and Avtodor.
