\n\u201cWe played against a good team and they shot the ball really well,\u201d Maccabi head coach Oded Kattash said. \u201cWe did a better job in the second half and the most important thing is that we kept fighting. We have a week to recover and get the next one.\u201d

\nMilano Head Coach Pepe Poeta reflected on the win, \u201cWe had three very solid quarters and we handled the endgame in a proper way. It\u2019s impossible to take away everything from a team as talented on offense as Maccabi but we did a good job limiting them and with this spirit we will try to reach the postseason.\u201d

\nThe game MVP Josh Nebo added, \u201cIn the past we had some trouble in the fourth quarter and today was a big step forward in responding to their run and closing the game out. It was a tough game and we\u2019re trying to push for a spot in the playoffs, so I try to bring my best effort to every matchup. The race is very tight so we\u2019re trying to take it one game at a time and if we keep fighting like we did tonight, we\u2019ve got a good chance.\u201d
