\n\u201cThis was a bigger win than even than the one in AEK,\u201d Holon coach Amit Sherf said. \u201cTo come here against a very tough and aggressive team like Nes Ziona, I have to give huge credit to the players, but I\u2019m already worried about who I will play against Afula on Sunday. The players have really been able to mesh together even if we are playing with a short roster and not with the full complement of players. Every game can influence the next and we have to be ready in all aspects of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a long break,\u201d Nes Ziona head coach Elad Hasin began. \u201cI\u2019m not looking at this as an excuse as we have been working very hard the last two weeks in practice, we came in to try and stop Kevin Hervey as well as Drew Crawford and Tahjere McCall but we didn\u2019t do as good agajnst the latter two. Misgav hit 5 3-pointers and I can\u2019t remember the last time he did that. I\u2019m sure that we can get out of this funk and win in the upcoming game.\u201d

\nShachar Amir spoke about the victory, \u201cWe go into league games with all of our power and we take them in all seriousness as you\u2019ve seen with every game that we have played recently. We\u2019re able to handle the tough schedule because we really work on our bodies as the staff helps us a lot to prepare ourselves. We are also doing more tactical things than physical in practice to keep us fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yair Kravits reflected on the defeat, \u201cWe lost and we are disappointed. We thought we could win but we had issues in some of the small details which we will learn from and implement in a very busy week we have coming up. As for me going back after my injury, I feel ok and I would feel better if we would win and hopefully it will happen soon.\u201d
