Neven Spahjia: “When we play some defense, our life is easier”

As Maccabi’s coach said: “We led at halftime, but they had 10 offensive rebounds and created a lot of problems for us with second-chance points and I think 3 or 4 threes after offensive rebounds. And the entire second half they had only one. When we play some defense, our life is easier because our talent is unquestionable and we always find a way to score… Lately [Jake Cohen] is playing very good basketball and we knew that he was going to play important minutes tonight.”

The interim coach of Barca, Alfred Julbe added: “We had an excellent beginning, but after that, we began to concede offensive rebounds and not only offensive rebound,s but the next action after that offensive rebound was too easy for Maccabi. We could come back to the game after a lot of minutes, but maybe you know that the team is in a difficult situation. I am for only one game waiting for another coach from my position with the B team. Maybe that’s the reason, I don’t know. We were fragile. We had like three little pieces of one minute and a half, two minutes, each that killed us. Maccabi, as normal, as a good team, a competitive team, took advantage of that situation”.
