This is not enough for the next round. We will see what will happen in the second round. It\u2019s not about going up and down but the way you go up and down. I understand honest mistakes, but too many points were a lack of pure focus. I think Hapoel Tel Aviv is a super talented team with a good lineup of Israelis and a very good lineup of foreign players who are gamers and will be super ready. I\u2019m not sure if we play like today it will be enough. It\u2019s just pure fact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the tough disappointing feeling of losing, we felt that we were able to stay with Jerusalem but the depth decided this series,\u201d Aharoni said. \u201cJerusalem had very high shooting percentage in this game but we were able to come back as our character showed but ultimately their three guards played an incredible game.
