\n\u201cThis is the third game in a row that we began poorly, lazy and with no energy,\u201d Maccabi Tel Aviv Head Coach Oded Katash began. \u201cIf this is the third time, it\u2019s got to be my fault. Despite this we won for the third straight game as well. We were able to get the win thanks to pulling ourselves together and I had to make some changes as well. Perhaps next game I need to start off the game with guys who can give more energy.\u201d

\n\u201cWe came into the game really well,\u201d Holon Head Coach Guy Kaplan began. \u201cWe set a goal to stop their transition game and hold down their ability to run the floor. We were there for the most part but came up a bit short. We will continue on as we are still looking for our DNA as to what does it mean to be part of Hapoel Holon. We were there in this game, we controlled certain areas of the contest for the most part like rebounds but ended up falling short by one at the end of the game.\u201d

\nThe game MVP Jimmy Clark spoke about the victory, \u201cWe didn\u2019t start off well and didn\u2019t have a good flow with our system. Once the game started in we began to play defense, got our rebounds and were able to win the game. While we have had a tough time in Israel the past few games and we\u2019ve won games in the Euroleague a bit easier, the two leagues have different playing styles and the teams in Israel are prepared to play us as most have time to prepare.\u201d

\nIftach Ziv looked back at the game that was, \u201cWe came into the game prepared and with good energy. We looked at them in the white if their eyes but we also made some mistakes in the last quarter. The game didn\u2019t end on the last play and we should have gotten the foul call but that\u2019s not why we lost the game.\u201d

Trevion Williams began the fourth quarter with points, Ziv came back from deep, Jokubatis matched him while Clark dunked off a steal, nailed a 3-pointer and added a deuce to give Maccabi their first lead of the game, Jokubatis put in a 3-point play and scored his free throws to seal the win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
