\u201cFirst, it\u2019s always fun when you win,\u201d Maccabi coach Oded Katash said after the game. \u201cLike with the previous game, today as well we\u2019ll take things, continue the process we\u2019re in. We got Jaylen [Hoard] who helped us a lot. The game was a little different with a different pace, we responded a little from the game two days ago, a lot of defensive things. We have a lot of room for improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, it was a lot of fun,\u201d Jaylen Hoard (6 points, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) said after his first game for Maccabi after switching from their cross-town rivals this summer. \u201cIt was an exciting game. For those who watched the game on TV, there were a lot of people in the gym, so it was exciting, it was my first preseason game. It\u2019s good to get my legs moving and everything, but it was fun to play with the guys. We got our first win of the preseason, so it felt good today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good competition, we played against Zo [Lorenzo Brown], who played here [at Maccabi] last year,\u201d Hoard spoke of Panathinaikos. \u201cWe played against a lot of top EuroLeague guys, so to play against them was an honor honestly and it was good to get that matchup this early in the preseason.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI missed a couple of easy things today,\u201d Hoard summed up his own personal performance, missing a dunk and going 1 of 3 from the field, \u201cBut as the games keep going and I get comfortable, I\u2019ll make all of those and have some crazy dunks too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maccabi will take on Panathinaikos again on Friday (18:30 IDT \/ 11:30 EDT) and then Anadolu Efes on Saturday (19:00 IDT \/ 12:00 EDT), with both games in Athens being their last European warmup games before the season begins.<\/p>\n
