The head coach of Runa summed up the results of the game against Lokomotiv-Kuban (76:96).

«Today we played against Lokomotiv, they grabbed 16 offensive rebounds. Look at the final score: we have 57 possessions, they have 70. When you have so many fewer chances, you can’t win the game. Against teams like Loko, you need to control the tempo of the game. We didn't succeed. Maybe from the outside it seemed that everything was okay with us, but I saw that the opponent was about to create a gap. We had to fight for every rebound.

I will not make excuses for we don't have two important players, but at some point seemed that we were tired. We need to learn from this game and prepare further. Congratulations to Lokomotiv, they fully deserved the win», – Erdogan said.
