We know it&#8217;s a long season, but we want to win, we want to win now and this game was just a step in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the keys in picking up the victory was Iffe Lundberg\u2019s late game sharp shooting which had been an issue over the course of the first couple of weeks of the Euroleague. But the Danish guard knocked down four triples going 4\/6 from long range and ended the contest with 14 points which Maccabi hopes will be the start of something special going forward.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_192965\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-192965\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.43.02.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-192965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.43.02.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.43.02-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.43.02-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.43.02-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-10-08-at-11.43.02-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-192965\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Iffe Lundberg &#8211; Photo Credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cSince Iffe&#8217;s been here, he&#8217;s been a leader on this team and I just want him to find his way.
