Oded Kattash, Maccabi head coach:
“We cannot feel like favorites, but we need to welcome this opportunity. We had a good season, we deserve to reach the playoffs. In a single game everything can happen. We face a crazy shooting team with one of the best shooters in the EuroLeague. It will take a team effort.”
Antonius Cleveland, Maccabi guard:
“We know what we need to do. We treat this game like any other game, but we know what’s at stake. It’s going to be a team effort to make Markus Howard take tough shots. Our defense has improved in the past month, so we need to keep trending upward.”
Lorenzo Brown, Maccabi guard:
“We have the same mentality of win-or-go home as before every game this season; it’s been important for us. We need to stick together as well and go by what the coaches tell us. The keys are to slow down their scorers. Markus Howard is one of the best scorers in the league so slowing him down will be a key to our success.”
