UMMC Head Coach Dmitrii Donskov:
- We had to motivate our players to rough work and good attitude towards the game. And somewhere in the second quarter we succeeded with those tasks. Although we can’t consider 24 turnovers with the team from the bottom standings as something good, the main task was solved and we won. Probably there were some issues in terms of quality, but taking into account a week of New Year holidays and emotions expended in the last game with bashing score, we still achieved a good result.
