Scariolo: “We are facing a big challenge. Maccabi is an extremely talented team. They are built to be in the Final Four with lots of scrong talent and athleticism. A team led by an authentic EuroLeague superstar like Lorenzo Brown, he is a true leader, a top player. We have to recover, we have one day less in this double week, so the main thing will be physical recovery. Several players are not in their best condition, even if they tried to make a contribution.”
Hackett: “We got a win that can give us morale and confidence again after a difficult period. Now we face a team that is playing well: Maccabi is always a tough opponent to face. We will have to prepare well, especially to contain Lorenzo Brown and the work that he does for himself and his teammates. We want to give 100 percent on the court and we also count a lot on the support of our fans, who are always there.”
