After five consecutive victories in the Euroleague, Maccabi Tel Aviv recorded a very disappointing loss in Moscow against CSKA tonight (Thursday).
The Yellows, who lost earlier this week in the Hapoel Holon league, hoped to recover but gave the Russians who are in a very difficult period to recover in their place.
Yellows coach Yannis Sapropoulos said at the end: "In the locker room I congratulated the players on how we fought today, it was a very close game, a real derby from start to finish. We are not happy because we had a chance to win the game and it happens in basketball. Cancels the war we fought. "
The Greek added: "CSKA scored, especially in the second half and the last quarter, and we missed hard shots.
We tried to get back from the difference they opened, both teams were able to win this game in the end.
"I think our defense was very good, CSKA has the best attack in the Euroleague, over 87 points per game, and they scored under 75 points, so our defense was excellent."
