<\/SPAN>It\u2019s no secret that we come to every game with a roster of 12 players, and other teams with only about 6 and a half.
<\/SPAN>We need to be focused.
<\/SPAN>I think we benefited from good defensive playing by D\u2019Or Fischer and Yaniv Green.
<\/SPAN>There were combinations of players that worked well, and others that worked less well.\u201d

<\/SPAN>We\u2019re still a new team, learning from one game to the next.
<\/SPAN>You can\u2019t compare these games to Euroleague games, but we\u2019ve used these games to learn to work together.
<\/SPAN>That\u2019s the best it could be, under the circumstances.\u201d
