Coach Oded Ketch said about Maccabi Tel Aviv's fourth away win of the season: "This is probably our biggest win of the season, but there were some other big ones. We played well today, we were focused and consistent in defense and it's also fun to enter the game with shots going in. It's really a great week ".
The coach also said: "We expanded the rotation more quickly today and many players played and contributed. Nivo did an amazing job defensively and on the perimeter. We must continue like this, these are victories that gave us a jump, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us."

Wade Baldwin, who excelled with 23 points, said at the end: "We have six more games left until the end of the season and it was an unbelievable week, we met very difficult teams, including the European champions and we are very satisfied that we beat the two Turks. What was our secret? Everyone came crazy Next week we will play against Basconia who beat Real Madrid away this week and beat us in the previous round, they are in great shape and for us it is a big challenge. It was the fourth away win of the season and we had a great week, but the next game is the most important. We will see where the season will take us this one".
