Oleg Kiselev: «We implemented the game plan and showed character from the first seconds.»

Astana head coach Oleg Kiselyov commented on the home victory over Minsk.

- We implemented the game plan and showed character from the first seconds. There were some problems at the beginning of the third quarter: we didn't move the ball well, and we had bad organization. After the adjustment, everything went as it should. Congratulations to the team and fans on the victory, and now we are preparing for the match against CSKA.

Today we played more organized and did not let them take a lot of rebounds, so they had second-chance attacks. They made only five defensive rebounds as we had 15 for the opponents; this is one of the crucial factors. Well, the organization was completely different. We moved the ball in a more coordinated way; we shared the ball, and we played as a team.

We will try to win every game of the second stage. And there, we will see the final result.
