Maccabi Tel Aviv was very upset tonight after suffering a fifth loss of the season at home in the Euroleague when it surrendered to Olympiacos after extra time 89:87. On the spot in the first 8.
Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Yannis Sapropoulos said after the game: "We fought until the end to achieve the victory, the game was decided on a few things that could have been different.
One rebound we missed, an early offense that sent them to the line, a few free throws we missed in legal time that were crucial.
This is a bad result, we are not happy, but we will continue.
We have another two days game against Basconia, our thinking is to forget about this game and focus on the next game.
I do not want this game to affect the next game. "
The Greek added: "I do not judge my players if they have a bad evening. Olympiacos crowded the color and did not let us score shots from the inside. We had free shots, but sometimes when you are completely free you miss, get stressed and it goes on. These are not mental things. "Professional, I will analyze the game with my players and not with you, I will tell them what I want to see differently. We will learn from this game."
Olympiacos coach Yorgos Bratzokas analyzed from his side: "We did a great job on Wilbkin and moved the ball very well. I give credit to the players, excellent team effort. We were much better in situations that Maccabi wants to play, especially against Wilbkin. Two good shots, we did a good job. Maccabi has two teams, one with the Hunter, and the substitutions in the defenses, and the other team with the other highs, need to know how to deal with it. Costes Slokas is our leader and he plays for his friends Much better than the beginning of the season. "
