The Israel team defeated the Netherlands team tonight, after a close and difficult game.
Danny Avdia, who excelled again, and coach Guy Goodes spoke to the media after the game.
The Israeli star said: "It was hard for us to get into the game, we didn't start well. I see how I can help, the friends made big baskets here both Gal and Yam. Defense was the key, and I'm glad we were able to win."
About the bad start, he said: "Many times we come in disdain, with our heads up. We need to come stronger, I felt that at the beginning we were not ready. We will come sharp for the game against Poland - there is a team here that is not used to playing back to back. We showed character, even in moments in which the ball doesn't go in. That's the most important thing."

Coach Guy Goodes also said after the victory: "The wisdom in basketball is to adapt yourself to the opponent. That's why the rotation today was different. I have no problem with us playing poorly and winning, it's better than playing fantastic and losing."
