One great example is the derby win on Saturday night, 87 \u2013 73 over Hapoel Tel Aviv. And if Bagatskis\u2019 players will continue to bring such energy, good things will follow.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"direction: ltr; text-align: justify;\"> \t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">\u201cBasically, good job. Bravo. You played like a team\u201d, said coach <strong>Bagatskis <\/strong>to his players in the locker room following the game. \u201cWe need to learn from this experience. How many times did we get a big lead and let it slip away?

We\u2019re all one team, regardless of nationality. We all want to play and I think those who played less on Thursday got more minutes this time and proved they can contribute. I\u2019m happy we won, every win is sweet \u2013 especially in the derby and in such difficult times so hopefully it would give us a push in the Euroleague as well\u201d<br \/> \t\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Yellows celebrated the 87 \u2013 73 win, the Latvian coach told his players: \u201cYou played like a team.
