"This is certainly much better showing than we had in our first game, but I still cannot be satisfied with the way we played. We had too many turnovers and, so to say, 'stupid' mistakes in crucial moments. Igokea is the team with the lowest budget in this group and no one expected us to be competitive in this tough group, but still I feel that we had big opportunity to win this game. We are turning to our domestic competition and then to next Eurocup game against Asesoft Ploesti in our arena. Unfortunately, there is not much time to work on our mistakes since we play games every three days."
GREENBERG, BRAD
Hapoel Migdal Jerusalem
"It was a very tough and a physical game for us. We came here without our starting center Artsiom Parakhouski and the situation in the paint got even worse for us when our two big guys Green and Duncan got in foul trouble, with four fouls both, midway through third quarter. We knew Igokea is a good rebounding team and we had to do our best to limit their rebounding capabilities. I am very satisfied with our first road win in this season, and hopefully we will carry this momentum into Israeli national championship."
