Quite a few smiles were observed tonight (Thursday) among the players and people of Maccabi Tel Aviv after the champion easily defeated Hapoel Jerusalem 80: 101.
The trophy holder presented a sluggish defensive game and fell to a double-digit deficit as early as the second quarter.
Scotty Wilbkin (29) did his best and sniped 8 threes, while Ante Zizic was unstoppable in the yellow lines.
Although Hapoel Jerusalem had a great game from Tamir Blatt (21 and 7 assists), the coordinator of the trophy holder was injured at the end and had to get off the floor while being supported by his teammates.
Maccabi Tel Aviv coach
Yannis Sapropoulos
: "I would like to wish Tamir Blatt a speedy recovery, I hope it is not a serious injury. "The players on their concentration in this game. I think the way we played after the first quarter, we raised the defensive ability, we opened a double-digit gap, it continued in the second half, and we deserved to win 100 percent. We need to enjoy the victory, and be ready to continue."

On the meaning of the win: "I do not believe it is a statement, it is a long season, there are many more games to play, many competitions to play. We played a good game, that's all. We will not analyze it too much."
On Caspi's fitness: "I'll talk to the doctors about Omri, he's ready to play, we'm glad he's back, his personality is important to us, he's going to be better the longer he goes on, the more he's playing, I'm glad he's back and Zuz's back and John's back. "They were part of the rotation and helping the team. It's very important."
On Ante Žižić, the Greek coach said: "He was also very good against Zenit, he had a period in decline but he is now on the rise again. We want to use him, Dragon in the last month looks completely different, Omri is also a factor. We have more "Players who are ready to play, we have made such progress in the Euroleague as well, and we will play even better."
Not happy with the defense.

Cup holders coach
Oded Katash
: "This is our second game defensively we are not doing a good enough job, not aggressive enough. I thought the second game against Iguoca we found our chemistry, was a drop in tension with returning to the country. I am responsible for that and we need to find out, rules "We had less clear executions, maybe it's a combination of players, maybe a lack of training, something in our defensive coordination didn't work. We came up with a game plan that we were willing to live with certain threes, but we didn't do it well enough."
The Reds coach tried to analyze what did not go to his players: "Most of the points we scored were from our advantages, when you come to play against Maccabi Tel Aviv they have abilities, Hunter's lack was significant, but Zizic is a presence, created a lot of problems for us. The matter was the way we kept it. There was always a fear, even if we came at another time the fear in the cup was there. In the cup anything can happen, certainly when it comes to a quality team like Gilboa and away games, the lotteries do not always determine. "The way to win is to take these games and commit to doing better. Defensively it will not be easy. We have to play better defensively."
