Maccabi Tel Aviv will continue its attempt to get a ticket to the Euroleague playoffs when it hosts Basconia tomorrow (Thursday, 21:05, live broadcast in Sports 5) as part of the 20th round.
The Yellows come into the game with a balance of 8 wins and 11 losses, while the Basques are on a slightly better balance, with 9 wins and 10 losses, but both teams are currently out of the playoffs.
The loss to Olympiacos devoured the cards again for Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Yellows had high hopes of coming out of the double Euroleague game week, the first season in which they host both games, with a positive balance, but their second half and not-so-good enough overtime cost them a fifth home loss in nine games.
Yannis Sapropoulos spoke with the players immediately at the end and asked them to forget about this loss so that they could recover and stand properly against Basconia, in a game where, according to team members, a loss could make the chance of reaching the playoffs almost impossible.
The most significant gap for the Yellows between wins and losses this season in the home games is actually in the offensive field and not in my defense.
The team scores 83.8 points per game in home games, while 72.4 points in losses (in 40 minutes, not including overtimes), while in defense the gap is not so significant: Maccabi Tel Aviv absorbs 71.8 points per game in home wins compared to 76.2 points in home losses.
In away games, on the other hand, the picture is different - the difference between wins and losses is 2.6 points in losses, but the team wins the games on defense when it absorbs 12 points less in wins than in losses.
