Maccabi head coach Neven Spahija couldn’t be anything than quite pleased by how his players reacted following the home loss to Anadolu Efes and the determination they showed en route to beating Khimki Moscow in Russia.
“To lose a game by 20 at home and to come here mentally tough with a lot of personality, that’s what I‘m happy about. I think this game is our best game [on the road this season]. We won in Bamberg, but this game defensively was better,” said Spahija.
“We knew before the game everything about Alexey [Shved]. He is definitely one of the best, probably the best player in Europe. I think we prepared the game well. Also, we executed well. You can plan whatever you want, but if the players on the court are not following the instructions, it doesn’t go well like in the previous game,” he added.
