Alex Poythress: "Every win counts at this point, especially going into the playoffs"

The blue-whites center Alex Poythress shared his emotions about the away win against MBA-MAI (84:88) in an exclusive interview for Zenit TV. The game was a milestone for him, marking his 150th appearance for the St. Petersburg team.

— Alex, congrats. For sure you didn't expect that it would take two overtimes.

— No, I mean, it was a good win for us still. Everything is going to be tough, road game. MBA played great today. But we just fought hard and we came out on top.

— Did you have enough time to recover after CSKA? Was it the key factor why the game turned out like this?

— I think physically we recovered, I don't think mentally we recovered. I think mentally we were still on a high of that win and we had to humble ourselves a little bit. I mean, but we fixed that mid-game and we came out victorious.

— And just a few words about two numbers. First, it's 17 wins in a row. Second — your 150th game for Zenit.

— 17 games in a row is incredible. We're gonna keep on fighting, keep on rolling and streaking. Every win counts at this point, especially going into the playoffs. So we'll try to keep that streak going as long as we can. I've had 150 games, a lot. I just want to thank the fans, thank my teammates, thank my coaches. Just trying to stay out there and try to compete as best as I can.
