After a couple of 3-point misses, the Davidson product was just on fire. His shooting, passing, rebounding and everything else went just right. It\u2019s always great when one of the good guys like Jake has a terrific game; if anyone deserves it, it\u2019s him. Cohen puts in tremendous amounts of work and has continued to improve, not just in Israel but in Europe once Coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos took over back in November. Jake became a legitimate Euroleague player after some had doubted his ability to do so. Sfairpoulos spoke about his contribution, \u201cJake was amazing and he played very well. You saw his quality and we know his quality and although this was one of his best games, he\u2019s had other good games as well. He did some great things, not just his shooting and scoring but his rebounds, steals and he was all over the court offensively and defensively, It\u2019s a pleasure to see a player like Jake performing as he did, but we have quality on our team and each player can show up on a different day.\u201d Captain John Dibartolomeo also chimed in on what Cohen brings to the table for Maccabi, \u201cJake can do it all. He\u2019s smart player and team guy. He steps up when he needs to and he was everywhere, passing, rebounds, scoring. It speaks to him always being ready when his moment is there.\u201d Good for Jake! Go get \u2018em!<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_13985\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MOLD1495.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13985\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MOLD1495-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13985\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13985\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Basket.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n2) <strong>What did the always modest and humble Cohen have to say about his performance<\/strong> when he began the game missing a few triples? \u201cThe shot\u2019s aren\u2019t always going to go in. I thought I took some good shots tonight and some of my 3\u2019s didn\u2019t go in but they felt good and I was going to keep shooting them. I had some easy passes to teammates and Tarik (Black) was a beast inside and I just had to get him the ball and he would finish it. I felt that I was in a really good rhythm tonight and we had just a great team flow on both ends and we had some good stops. They made me feel like I was in a zone, contributing, making decisions and helping the team.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_13637\" style=\"width: 1015px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/9be1b640-2515-4661-8fd8-b066419b2638.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13637\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/9be1b640-2515-4661-8fd8-b066419b2638.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1005\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13637\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13637\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dov Halickman Photography<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n3) <strong>The victory gave Maccabi home court advantage and first place allowing them to choose to play the Final Four at they home arena<\/strong>. The Yellow &#038; Blue have had a chance to really work on their play over the past month in practice which was lacking during the winter months when the Euroleague was still in session and it has showed. Cohen talked about wrapping up the top spot and the keys to victory, \u201cIt was important to get the win as we locked up first place, I thought we played well both offensively and defensively and in transition. We made them uncomfortable and did a good job on their guys as they have some who can go off for 20 points just like that. Everyone did a great job containing them and getting them out of their comfort zone and you saw the results as we were able to get out and run, be dynamic and that\u2019s one of the qualities of our team. One of the best qualities of our team is that when we get out and run we can finish the ball really well as we have great finishers and good shooters. I\u2019m happy we got the win and now we can get ready for the playoffs.\u201d Sfairpoulos also commented on his team\u2019s play and shutting down the ever dangerous Paul Stoll, \u201cWe played a very good game against a team that is very talented offensively and they have a great scoring rhythm. If you underestimate them they can create damage. I think we did a great job on Paul Stoll who only scored 5 points and although they made some tough shots we played a game that made them feel uncomfortable and that\u2019s how we kept them to 70 points.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_13986\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MOLD0937.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13986\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/MOLD0937-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13986\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Basket.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>Overtime<\/strong><br \/>\nMaccabi Ashdod and Brad Greenberg have had a rough season. Injuries were the name if the game at the beginning of the season and roster changes were seen throughout the campaign. But o<strong>ne player who has been consistently good all season long is Lis Shoshi<\/strong>. The center not only can score from the inside but has a sweet shot from the outside as he&#8217;s averaged 12.8ppg, plus he\u2019s a rebounding machine, grabbing 7.7 boards per game. I asked Greenberg about Shoshi\u2019s campaign to date, \u201cIt\u2019s been a good year for him as last year was his first year as a pro and he only played part of a season and did ok. But this is a full professional season and he\u2019s had some really strong games against quality teams. He\u2019s made progress and he has to stay that course because he has the potential to be a high level player. He\u2019s 7\u201d tall, agile, has a touch, can rebound and block a shot. He\u2019s got the makings of a high level player but he needs experience and he needs to get stronger. He can be a little more fierce on the court and he\u2019s not that type of person if he wants to play at a really high level he will have to be a fierce competitor. He\u2019s never going to weigh 260 pounds but a guy that will give up something to guys in the front court so he will need to make up for that by being very, very aggressive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated Maccabi Ashdod 93-70 to secure the league\u2019s top spot heading into the playoffs.
