Maccabi’s coach after the 94:82 lead against Barcelona: “Our talent is unquestionable”. Roll: “we played good defense”
Coach Neven Spahija: “We led at halftime, but they had 10 offensive rebounds and created a lot of problems for us with second-chance points and I think 3 or 4 threes after offensive rebounds. And the entire second half they had only 1. When we play some defense, our life is easier because our talent is unquestionable and we always find a way to score. Lately Jake is playing very good basketball and we knew that he was going to play important minutes tonight”.
Michael Roll: “Huge win for us, felt great to get it home, it was fun. We were locked in right from the start, we stuck with it, at the beginning we didn’t make shots, me personally as well, but we stuck with it and started knocking shots down and I think we played good defense”.
Norris Cole: “This game was important and that’s my job, as the leader, to always make sure I bring that boost. And we needed it tonight. I’m glad we were able to play together and come out with the win. I’m a pro, I’m ready to play. We needed this game. It was important to hold home court, it was important to hold our spot for the playoffs and that’s enough motivation. Our team brought it tonight”.
