Good team win to bounce. We played good as a team. We are pros so we try to limit blow out losses. We didn\u2019t want to lose so early in the cup.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>While five Reds scored in double digits and had two more within striking distance, it was just what the doctor ordered for Hapoel and their star guard J\u2019Covan Brown who was absolutely stellar in the encounter. With 17 points, 16 assists which was one off the EuroCup record and 8 rebounds he ended the game just two boards short of recording a triple double., but also played close to 34 minutes which is plenty for Brown who will have Maccabi waiting on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll get a triple one of these days,\u201d Brown said after the game. \u201cIt is actually harder to get [the record] when everybody&#8217;s in your ear telling you to do it.

I\u2019m happy as to what he has done in Israel and he is a really good player. He controls the game very well and he has his teams winning.

I\u2019ve always been a main guy and this year it\u2019s a little different. It\u2019s all good.  Seeing shots going down is definitely a relief but there are more things I can do to help the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With Hapoel\u2019s continental record up to 7-4 they will now turn their sights onto the Derby which will tip-off on Sunday night at the Drive In. The fans were in fine form already as they were going through their typical repertoire of songs dedicated to Maccabi Tel Aviv and with the Reds 0-2 against the Yellow &#038; Blue with defeats in Hadera and Yad Eliyahu, they know full well that this will be the best chance to down their arch rivals. <\/p>\n<p>One of Hapoel head coach Danny Franco\u2019s challenges has been trying to satisfy the players with their roles and positon on the club and with a Derby coming up everyone will want to be a part of it but according to Tokoto, he feels that the bench boss has been doing a good job in meeting everyone\u2019s expectations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanny is doing a very good job so far. We got 12 guys who can come in and contribute. I think he has been great so far not just in handling personalities as well.
