Sergey Karasev, Zenit BC Forward:

As I have already said, we must forget yesterday’s game, as we are still playing in the series and playing in front of our fans. They give us strength and emotions. It is very difficult to play every other day at the end of the season, so we need to gather the will in a fist and play like the last time. CSKA will play more aggressively than in the third game, so we need to play even smarter. If we stick to the game plan, we will have every chance of winning.
