A huge three-pointer by Scottie Wilbkin, 10 seconds into the evening, prevented a big embarrassment in the Hall tonight (Thursday), giving Maccabi Tel Aviv a dramatic victory, 70:71 on Olympiakos, Janis Safropoulos's ex. The Greeks did lead in the fourth quarter but the hostess who rose to balance 8:19, once again knew how to rise at ManiTime.
In the end, Coach Spropoulos did not hide the excitement: "Scottie Wilbkin (who scored 21 points) has an amazing character. He gave us the win because we did not give in - that is the motto of Maccabi Tel Aviv. We fight to the end. The fact that we fought to the end gave us the victory. Our players have a great personality. Scotty is one of the best players in the Euroleague. In my opinion, next season he will be the best in Euroleague. "
"I thank our support and love. It was a big win in our bad game. I am very happy. We played a lot in the paint, and we did not give up the victory for a single moment."
