The Yellow &#038; Blue fought their way out of a 15 point deficit with a 20:10 fourth-quarter finish as Yovel Zoosman was superb on both ends of the court finishing the night with 12 points and 9 rebounds. Scottie Wilbekin, Deni Avdija, and Jake Cohen each scored 10 points. Tuesday, Giannis Sfairopoulos&#8217;s squad head out to Shlomo Group Arena for Game 2 of the series.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\n<p style=\"direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"> \t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">&#8220;Unfortunately, we weren&#8217;t ready, but we showed our character in the last quarter, allowing them to score only 10 points, and I think that was the key&#8221;, Said head coach\u00a0<\/span><strong style=\"background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">Giannis Sfairopoulos<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u00a0at the post-game press conference. &#8220;We changed the momentum of the game from our good defense, and then offensively, we scored some open shots&#8221;.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\n<p style=\"direction: ltr; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"> \t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">&#8220;They risked the outside shooting, pressing the paint as they didn&#8217;t allow us to score from inside, but we had a lot of open shots we&#8217;ve missed that made us more nervous and inpatient defensively.
