Maccabi’s coach after the 87:84 loss to Valencia: “We came back and played the second half very good with less mistakes”. Cole: “”We gave ourselves a chance to win at the end but when you’re trying to comeback, everything got to go perfect”
“We had two completely different halves first one was with a terrible defense giving up so many easy two pointers and one on one threes which is an evidence to their quality” said coach Spahija, “We came back and played the second half very good with less mistakes and with way better defense that’s all, the game was decided by one shot”.
“I’m just glad we didn’t quit and kept fighting till the end” said Norris Cole who finished the game with 26P 5A & 2R, “We gave ourselves a chance to win at the end but when you’re trying to comeback, everything got to go perfect we were down by a big margin and when we came back we just ran out of time. Obviously we would like to play more than one game a week especially in the EuroLeague but the one game a week will give us the chance to practice a little bit more, give us a chance to develop our chemistry so that we can make a run at the Israeli championship”.
