Lokomotiv-Kuban center Vince Hunter commented on his team’s victory over CSKA in the first match of the VTB United League playoff semifinal series (97:88 OT) and explained how they managed to stop CSKA’s leaders.
— How do you evaluate the game?
— It was tough, but we managed to start the semifinal series the way we wanted. Of course, this is just the first step out of four, but the whole team deserves praise for today’s performance. From now until the end of the season, every game will be more intense than the last — we need to be ready for that.
— Kaspar Ware scored three points, Melo Trimble made just one field goal out of 15. How did you manage to stop CSKA’s leaders?
— We tried not to give them any free space and made every second of possession difficult for them. Today we succeeded, and we won. Now we need to keep this mindset, — Hunter said in an interview with Championat correspondent Arina Ershova.
