\nJerusalem Head Coach Sasa Obradovic reflected on the win, \u201cI wasn\u2019t really happy with the first half and the approach to the game. We came in sloppy and not focussed. Even if the team we played didn\u2019t have big name guys we have to be serious. The second half we were better, but we had to take this game better. We are a new team but we have to be better with the approach. It was great to have the fans with us.\u201d

\nBeer Sheva Head Coach Doug Spradley looked back at the loss, \u201cJerusalem was more aggressive and physical for forty minutes but I\u2019m not one for excuses and we have to deal with the players that can play. At times we were ok and other times we had five guys on the perimeter and watching. We are still finding our way.\u201d

\nDusan Miletic discussed the victory, \u201cI feel we opened the game well but had some ups and downs and allowed them to play there game, we lost the rhythm and made some mistakes. In the second half we played better and we were on the same page. We won but this was not a good game which is great because we can improve. If we want to be the champions we have to be on the same page.\u201d

\nMJ Walker also spoke about the game, \u201cWe waited too late to get into the game and we didn\u2019t match them intensity. We needed to be able to control their runs a bit better. We have to work on our communication, we are giving a good effort but there was some miscommunications and they have good players and had some set plays.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
