Valentin Voronin, BC Politekhnika head coach:

“I am satisfied with how my team played today. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to contain Jeter, despite talking about the threat he poses”.

Tomo Mahoric, BC Kyiv head coach:

“Politekhnika is a very strong team and I was slightly concerned about the outcome of this match. Add to it the fact that the imports are heading home for Christmas tomorrow – I was afraid that would not be concentrated on basketball. Luckily that did not happen and I am glad we managed to stay calm and  control the flow of the game in the 4th quarter”.

Pooh Jeter, BC Kyiv guard:

“I have to thank my teammates for creating every opportunity for me to score. I hope that the vacation we are about to have will allow us to recharge the batteries and start the second half of the season fresh”.
