\nThe yellow-and-blue came out firing on all cylinders with Dibartolomeo hitting from the outside while Nebo and Rivero found points on the inside as they built up a doubt digit advantage by halftime. Elijah Stewart, newcomer Jeremy Senglin and JaJuan Johnson tried to cut down the lead in the third quarter but Oded Katash\u2019s crew bumped it right back up as the visitors never looked back to record their 9th Israeli league win in a row.

\n\u201cIt was a game that we didn\u2019t have that much energy as games in Eilat are never simple,\u201d Katash said. \u201cWe were missing two main guards and that slowed down the pace but we were there defensively and that helped us take the win. We were worried about this game with only 8 players due to injuries and we could have gotten into foul problems but we did some things tactically to make sure we could maintain the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaccabi was aggressive,\u201d Eilat coach Jurica Golemac began. \u201cWe knew that boxing out for them was important as they took 5 offensive boards and then hit 3-pointers from them. We had problems with their switching defense and their size and we tried to handle that but it is not easy. Jeremey Senglin who made his debut is a good shooter and will lead the team. He helped bring us back a couple of times but he was struggling as he was not yet familiar with the defense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josh Nebo also spoke about the game, \u201cI tried to come out and be focussed and play as hard as I can, do my job to the best of my abilities and I think it worked out. Playing here and getting a win, showcasing my talents to the home fans reminds me of where I started and it humbles me. The steps that I have taken and the hard work that I put in, it\u2019s special to play here. It was challenging to play with a short roster and without some of our Israeli players. It was tough but we found the way.\u201d
