Xavi Pascual: "At the end we were with this big advantage and controlled the game"

Head coach of Zenit Xavi Pascual commented on the result of the VTB United League round of 16, in which blue-whites defeated Pari Nizhny Novgorod 68:85 on the road.

— First of all, I want to wish all the best to Pari Nizhny Novgorod for the rest of the season. I like this team very much and they are doing very good job. So, one game that we were serious during all the game despite the fact that defensively some moments we couldn't control especially Baburin that he was in a great night today. We have to congratulate him for his game. But we were serious all the game. Step by step we were leading the score It was some moments on the end of the third quarter that we suffered a lot, but in the beginning of the last quarter we started to take advantage. Through defense we were a little bit better, controlling a little bit better the rebound also. And at the end we were with this big advantage and we controlled the game.
