Maccabi Tel Aviv has secured its place in the Euroleague playoffs, but it has not yet said that it is desperate even when it comes to achieving the sixth place. Valencia came to the meeting in Serbia after five losses in the last six games.
The visitors are missing the two leading centers Brandon Davis and Bobcar Toure and without Jared Harper. Oded Ketch went up in the top five with Lorenzo Brown, Wade Baldwin, Jake Cohen, Bonzie Colson and Josh Niebo.
