Maccabi Tel Aviv won tonight (Sunday) 95: 101 after two overtimes and at the end of one of the most fascinating dramas seen this season in the Premier League.
Until a week ago, the Yellows were on the wave with a streak of five victories in the Euroleague, but then the losses came to Hapoel Holon and CSKA Moscow and the team wanted to return to a positive trajectory towards a double week.
Desires apart and reality apart.
Ariel Beit Halachmi has a stubborn and warlike bunch this year who will not give up for a moment.
Brian Allen put on one of the most impressive shooting performances seen in recent years in the league (7 from 12 to 3), Miron Roina fought like a lion under the baskets (10 rebounds) and also Roy Hoover continued his excellent season (7 assists) and the Blues dragged the champion to thriller dramatic.

Jaylen Reynolds and James Nanali woke up in overtime and covered for another mediocre game by Scotty Wilbkin.
Although it was not impressive, Maccabi breathes a sigh of relief that they avoided a third loss in a row just before the pair of games against Monaco and Olympiacos.
Eilat, for its part, must recover because it also expects a critical game in Europe on Wednesday, a victory in which it will guarantee it a promotion to the next stage in the European Cup.
