Valencia Basket- Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv post-game quotes: Álex Mumbrú

02/02/2023

“A game in which I think we played well in the first half, moving very well, sharing the ball and playing our basketball. In the third quarter Maccabi increased the defensive intensity and for 3 or 4 minutes too much happened during the game that we lost our advantage quickly. Also in the third and fourth quarters we suffered a lot with the rebounding, it's difficult to compete in the game with such a big difference in rebounding, 40-22. Even so, the team has believed and we have reached the end with options to be able to take it with us and it has been decided by small details. The free throw that we miss, the foul that we don't make without being in bonus that costs us a basket... Small details that are decisions that sometimes come up heads and sometimes tails. I am angry about the defeat but very proud of the players, of how they have fought until the end and very proud of Fonteta. Because of how they have encouraged us, how they have taken us when we were seven or eight down, they have started to cheer. I am proud to have players who fight until the end and proud to have fans like the one we have”.
