By Amy Samin Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv defeated \u201cWe demonstrated a lot of character in this game. \u201cI\u2019m pleased with the victory, because it provides consistency. Carlos Arroyo<\/SPAN><\/B>, who scored the winning basket, said, \u201cWe tried to drive for the basket and score as quickly as possible at the end. D\u2019or Fischer <\/SPAN><\/B>said, \u201cI knew we needed to win; it\u2019s just another day at work. Marcus Brown<\/SPAN><\/B>, who made the crucial three-pointer that took the game into overtime, said, \u201cI had the opportunity to shoot, and I made the basket.

<\/SPAN>We won this game twice, both times at the buzzer.
<\/SPAN>That shows that our players have character,\u201d said Efy Birenboim<\/B>.
<\/SPAN>\u201cEveryone was hoping we\u2019d continue the third quarter from our last game, but every game is different.
<\/SPAN>We had a lot of players who were good on offense, but we didn\u2019t stop David (Bluthenthal) on defense.\u201d
<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
<\/SPAN>Like in every game, we have a lot of things to improve.
<\/SPAN>Today we showed our strong spirit,\u201d concluded Efy.
<\/SPAN>When asked for his thoughts about next week\u2019s away game against Olympiacos, the coach replied, \u201cFirst of all, I\u2019m not thinking about
<\/SPAN>We have a Premier League game on Monday, and the players need to prepare for that.
<\/SPAN>The whole thing about three point shots, those kinds of averages, that\u2019s not our thing.
<\/SPAN>Sometimes an opponent will come to Yad Eliyahu and not feel a lot of stress, and they start making the long shots, and everybody starts talking about that.
<\/SPAN>We\u2019ll be dealing with that in the future.\u201d
<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
<\/SPAN>That\u2019s basketball; it doesn\u2019t always go the way you want it to.
<\/SPAN>I think we\u2019re doing a great job, and that we\u2019re improving and moving forward to where we want to be.
<\/SPAN>Everyone contributed to this victory.\u201d
<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
<\/SPAN>
<\/SPAN>I\u2019m not surprised by Marcus Brown and Arroyo, they\u2019re not afraid to step up and take the shots at clutch time.
<\/SPAN>Their coach made a mistake by not having them foul us, but that was good for us.\u201d
<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
<\/SPAN>We still need to improve.
<\/SPAN>They\u2019re a very athletic team.
<\/SPAN>As the game went on, we felt more confident.
<\/SPAN>I\u2019ve made shots like that before; we had an opportunity and we took advantage of it.
<\/SPAN>We\u2019re going to keep getting better.
<\/SPAN>When we start taking more rebounds, we\u2019ll be a better team.\u201d
<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
<\/SPAN>They really make the game tough for you, and force you to take difficult shots, but we knew how to take advantage of the opportunities we were given.\u201d
<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
<\/SPAN>I was happy I could help the team.
<\/SPAN>I was a little surprised by the substitution.
<\/SPAN>We\u2019ll work hard and we\u2019ll move forward.\u201d
<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
<\/SPAN>I don\u2019t know what happened, they panicked I guess, but that is definitely the instruction I gave them.\u201d
