It hurt as it stopped our run.\u201d Scottie didn\u2019t even utter his name as if he is persona non grata, which in fact he really is. <\/p>\n<p>Following the game, Zoosman took the high road although it&#8217;s much easier to do so after a win than a loss, &#8220;For me personally the game today had a special meaning, but the only thing that counts is the victory. We played with a lot of energy today and fought hard throughout the whole game. I played for Maccabi for six years, I am familiar with the system and I am friends with many of my former teammates. I am also grateful to Coach Sfairopoulos. But now I&#8217;m in a different place, with a different team, and completely committed to ALBA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One player that wasn\u2019t teammates with Zoosman is Derrick Williams and he also chimed in on the loss, \u201cIt\u2019s tough and it\u2019s not a good showing by us after two games on the road.
