Information about the rival:
 
The club was established in 2006.

The «Tsmoki-Minsk» has also played 2 games so far in the regular VTB League championship against CSKA and «Khimki», where it was defeated.

Costas Flevarakis, head coach of PBC «Astana»:
«Tsmoki-Minsk» is a good team that plays well in the defense and who likes to put pressure. We need to move the ball effectively on the court and our players should attack as much as possible. In defense, it is important to control rebounds and focus on the 1 on 1 game. «
