BAGATSKIS, AINARS
Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv
"We played - I don't want to say that we played very well, but we did good for three quarters but, as you know, in modern basketball, 30 minutes of quality basketball are not enough to win the game. Bamberg played well for all 40 minutes; they played their own way, didn't hesitate and used the situations we gave to them. In the third quarter, we missed some opportunities on offense. We started a bit hesitating on defense and Bamberg immediately used that. And of course, Lo and Strelnieks, two players with limited minutes, I can say they did an excellent job. That's all; we missed something rebounding-wise, some aggressiveness under the rims from our big guys, we had a little bit too many turnovers... a little bit of everything in the third quarter and that decided the game."
