Hapoel Tel Aviv in the semi-finals,

"We played against Jerusalem a few weeks ago in the Eilat tournament and we lost to them precisely because of their aggressiveness and physicality.

Today it would have looked better and we will have to continue but also be more stable and consistent throughout 40 minutes.'

Franco added: "We still have a lot of ups and downs throughout the game which is natural for the beginning of a season and it's something we need to improve.

Jerusalem controlled the rebounds today, we defended well.

I'm happy with the win itself, the final is still a long time away, so I'm looking forward to the first league game next week.'

The coach of Hapoel Jerusalem, Alexander Dzikich, summed up the game: "I am not satisfied with the way they played in attack.

We need to present a more correct combination between outside shots and play in the paint.

Tonight we didn't find the balance in attack and that's my mistake.'

"We were very close to them tonight even though we didn't play well.

We had a lot of free throws that we didn't make.

They are a good team and very connected at this stage of the season.'
