We played better defense in the second half, we started to be more aggressive and better focus, and I think that what gave us the double-digit win, we need to be more concentrated on defense&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p> \t<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">&#8220;Our offense works really good for this part of the season, but the keys to winning big games start from the defense&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coach Giannis Sfairopoulos said after the 102:86 victory over Eilat: &#8220;Want our fans to support us with their voice in our first EuroLeague home game&#8221;.
