Webb and Sorkin continued to score as Sherfield and Koulechov tried to keep the reds close, but it was too little too late as the just wrapped up the win. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an important win,\u201d Maccabi Head Coach Oded Katash said. \u201cWe split up the minutes after losing Rafi Menco to injury last game. We didn\u2019t defend that well in the first half but we broke away after halftime and I\u2019m happy with the result all in all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bench boss also spoke about James Webb potentially being an X-Factor in the Panathinaikos playoff series and Roman Sorkin\u2019s return to action after having been out with an injury, \u201cJames, AC (Antonius Cleveland), John D, Jasiel Rivero and Tamir Blatt have really given us a very nice contribution that allows us to play different styles and we have been able to play 11 deep on the court. On any given day anyone of them can be the X-Factor.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_104375\" style=\"width: 1288px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-104375\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7529.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1278\" height=\"618\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7529.jpeg 1278w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_7529-610x295.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1278px) 100vw, 1278px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-104375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roman Sorkin &#8211; Photo credit: Dov Halickman and Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cAs for Roman can also be an X-Factor in the series. Roman came back after an injury similar to when Alex Poythress came back from an injury last season and the team had been running well together. It\u2019s not simple and just like anyone he has to be ready as the series can flip at any single moment. Roman is a weapon that can play two positions in Israel and I\u2019m happy he had a couple pf games to get back into the swing of things, but he also plays a bit differently in Israel than in Europe.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>James Webb also spoke about being an X-Factor in the upcoming series, \u201cX-Factor for sure, my role changes night in and night our. I\u2019ll do whatever I need to do and adjust to whatever our game plan at the time. My role is going to be a little bit of everything.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_100434\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100434\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3656.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"542\" class=\"size-full wp-image-100434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3656.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_3656-610x258.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-100434\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Webb &#8211; Photo credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cThe first half we were in the game despite Maccabi\u2019s high shooting percentage,\u201d Beer Sheva coach Oren Aharoni said. \u201cBut in order to win here you gave t9 be focused and we made some mistakes in the third quarter and they ran easily scoring at will and that finished the game.
