It\u2019s true that we need to stay composed and take what the defense gives us, but we can\u2019t prevent missed shots. We lacked composure, we couldn\u2019t sustain our level for 40 minutes and very quickly, during their run, we lost control of the game. This level of performance simply isn\u2019t good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jerusalem Head Coach Sasa Obradovi\u0107 talked about the win, \u201cIt was an incredible team victory for us. We did a good job defensively and showed a lot of character. We played against an aggressive team, but this is just one win, just the beginning. We have to win our next two games and head into the break in a positive mood. Even if we finish in first place, it doesn\u2019t guarantee us the title. We don\u2019t want to put pressure on ourselves with big statements.
