Saso Filipovski, Lokomotiv-Kuban Coach:

"The French team won deservedly. We had a chance to reverse the course of the game in the third quarter, but we made some stupid mistakes and lost the advantage. Last week we had half the team infected with influenza, but for this game all recovered and we went out with a good spirit to win, but the opponent was stronger than we were."

Monschau Christian, BCM Gravelines Dunkerque Coach:

"Today we played well and scored an important victory. Lokomotiv-Kuban was a strong opponent, the team ranked third in the championship of Russia and its leader is Chapin. But we were stronger than it was in the team game. Now we have a good chance to go further."
