Xavi Pascual: "In the last part of the game we lost some rebounds and allowed Loko to be in"
Zenit head coach Xavi Pascual summed up Game 4 of the VTB United League semifinal series against Lokomotiv Kuban (96:88).
— This is a playoff time. We are 2-2. We will try to recover and to be ready for the Game 5. Nothing else. We try to win and it is what it is. We can say that for sure 15 offensive rebounds is too much for what we try to do. And in the meantime we should, if I'm not wrong, 21 free throws less. So this is the game.
— For most of the game, Zenit was leading and in control.
— Yes, we were controlling the game, but in the last part of the game we lost some rebounds and we allowed Loko to be in. We missed some open shots, we missed some free throws. We could close the game, but finally it was like this, and in the extra time we couldn't win the game.
