\nCassius Winston also discussed the victory, \u201cYou never know how the game is going to go but we like our chances against anybody and we came out focused, moving the ball well and taking good shots. You want to set the tone and if you allow teams to stay in it, they have very good players they would think they would have a chance. As for Maccabi coming up, it would be great and big one for us, it\u2019s a really good team and we want to handle business and we want to grow.\u201d
