Bey scored 23 points and Raz Adam added 21 points in the loss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe basically continued this game with our second half from last game,\u201d Hapoel coach Danny Franco began. \u201cWe wanted to come in and have a good first half and I am happy that is what we did. There is mental work ahead of the next game and we have to make sure that Nes Ziona can\u2019t come back. But not one of these points will help us in the next game. We have to come into that one very focussed because Nes Ziona has quality players. We have to know what to expect next game and make sure that we are all in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We fell apart and it was painful for me,\u201d Hasin said. \u201cWe were able to comeback at the end of the 4th but they made some big plays. There is something called over motivation, the ball didn\u2019t go in and Hapoel is a team with a lot of experience and they can punish you very quickly. In the playoffs you can\u2019t give up 100 points. We tried all types of defense from zone to one on one but we just didn\u2019t deserve to win this game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tomer Ginat looked back at the game, \u201cWe spoke about it before the game that we had to play 40 minutes and that we had to play well defensively. Now we can finish the series off on Tuesday. But next game starts at 0-0 and we have to keep this going. It\u2019s the playoffs and we have to make sure that this will influence the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hapoel Tel Aviv blew away Nes Ziona 106-75 to take a stranglehold 2-0 quarterfinal series lead as they will look to sweep on Tuesday back at the Drive In Arena.
