Quotes
Krasny Oktyabr head coach Kirill Bolshakov:
- The guys did a good job preparing for this game. Over the last 3-4 weeks they have done a lot of one-on-one work. I come to practice an hour early and they are already in the gym. I think that work gets the credit for today's win. The team shot a good percentage from the field and played smart on offense. Most importantly, we were organized and disciplined on defense. Thanks to everyone for a good team game.

Enisey head coach Oleg Okulov:
- First of all, I want to say that I'm embarrassed for this game. Unfortunately, I didn't find the right words to motivate the team to play like we had agreed on initially. Congratulations to our opponent, but the fact that it didn't go well for us is a reason to get to work. We'll try to win our upcoming games.
