Jan Vesely:  I’m just happy we took care of home court. It's always important to win at home and we did it. We played much better in the second half than the first one. In general, every day our performance is better and better and I'm very happy that we're going this way. This period when I was injured, coming back a lot of times not 100% healthy, it would be better not to play, but I tried to help the team as much as I can and now that I have two healthy legs, it’s easy to play and now I found a rhythm and I hope it’s going to stay like this.

Dyshawn Pierre: It's very important for the playoff race and winning seven in a row is tough, but we're trying to have the next-game mentality and that's really the important thing. [The key to resisting Maccabi's comeback was] staying together and trusting what we do. We were very scrappy on defense and we've been trying to keep that mentality the whole time. I'm happy we did that and got the win.
