“First of all, congratulations to Maccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv on their victory. It was one of those nights where their shooting percentage was great, they were 24/24 in free throws and made 15 out of 23 from beyond the arc. However, I believe that our defensive rebounding in the first half wasn't strong enough, which allowed them to secure a lot of second chances and gain an advantage. Unfortunately, we couldn't catch up in the second half. I want to commend my players for their effort, as they fought hard for 40 minutes against a team that is currently performing at a high level. Now it's important for us to recover quickly and stay focused for the next game on Sunday.”
