Scotty Wilbkin
: "It's been a long year, I'm just happy to be in the final - we worked for it all year. Teamwise we played very well, limited their passing game and showed good defense. Game number 2 is going to be tough, we know they're going to play better At home, then we will have to stay focused and stick to the game plan. "
On the trash talk with Joe Thomson: "There are players whose style is to talk, I have no problem with that."
Angelo Cloiaro
: "We moved the ball properly and found each other for free throws. Gilboa is a very good team, we knew they would be aggressive and we will have to show toughness and that's what we did today. They have good forwards and good guards - it's a tough team. It was amazing "Playing in front of a full hall tonight, it has not happened since last season. These are the best fans in the world. Scotty Wilbkin is a huge player and he is making these big moves."

Hapoel Gilboa / Galil coach
Avishai Gordon
: "We fell on a few key things, especially on the offensive rebound, also on defense. In game number 2 we will have to bring a lot more aggression - probably against Scotty Wilbkin. We have a lot of tools to stop him, there is one. "Only eight times per line. We lacked a little more concentration, there was a whistle we could get, but I do not bother with the referees. We may have been excited about the size of the class, it makes sense - continue to the next game."
Hapoel Gilboa / Galil coordinator
Yiftach Ziv
: "I think we did not play well in the first half, but they were not good either. We absorbed a lot of points from the offensive rebound, and it hit us very hard. We fell for things related to basketball ability and we will have to learn from it in the video. I do not know if I should say Maccabi Tel's double guards "Aviv, I need to know how to deal with it. There are moves they have done very well. I told Chris Jones at the end of the game that if he does not respect us, then we will not respect them."
