Maccabi Tel Aviv hoped to lock tonight (Tuesday) its first round in the Euroleague with a fifth victory in its last six games, but was disappointed at home and lost 78:72 to Zenit St. Petersburg.
The Israeli champion looked bad, fell into a double-digit lag from which she could not return and if that was not enough then Othello Hunter, who was in doubt for the game, entered the floor, injured his eye and went to the hospital for a series of tests.
The bad news for Yannis Sapropoulos, who closes the first round with a balance of seven wins along with ten losses, is that a hot league game against Hapoel Jerusalem is already waiting for him on Thursday.
"Our energy was not good enough, especially at the beginning of the second half," admitted Yannis Sapropoulos.
"It was clear we did not help each other in color. We tried to come back, in the last quarter the players gave everything, they fought, gave their heart, but it was too hard. We had a chance or two to come back to the end, but we lost. The problem was first in attack - In the second and third quarters we did not read the situations correctly, we did not make the right decisions and we did not move properly. Then our defense was not enough. At 8-9 points we panicked unnecessarily, and we need to learn from it. We should not let this game develop like this. We must not stay in this game, we must forget it and move on. "
Tyler Dorsey added: "Our energy was low throughout the game, I do not know why. We have to win, we have to recover quickly. When Othello came out the coach tried to understand different teams but it is hard to play well when you only have one high. Othello is very important to us. "On offense, and we could not cope without him. They scored too many points in color, there are such evenings. There is now a period with a lot of games so we have to move on."

On the other hand, winning coach Xavi Pasqual was very pleased: "I want to congratulate my players, they fought great. We are happy because we met an excellent opponent and controlled the game more or less at all stages."
Mathieu Pontica added: "I hope that in the second half of the season we will prove that we are a good team at home as well. It is a great pleasure to play in this team, the coaching staff prepares us well for every game, tonight we played very well and we are satisfied."
