Maccabi Tel Aviv returned to smiling after the team defeated Basconia 82:91 tonight (Thursday) at home.

The host led for most of the minutes of the game, and although it received a bad game from Scotty Wilbkin and Tyler Dorsey, especially in the first half, the Israeli champion took advantage of the good ability of the bench players led by Angelo Cloiaro and Othello Hunter.

Elijah Bryant was also great in the yellow line-up, and Sapropoulos' side came back to win after the frustrating loss in the last round against Olympiacos.



Yellows coach

Yannis Sapropoulos

said at the end: "We showed our character today, it was not easy after a bad loss, to perform as we did today. Most importantly for me we showed great effort and played excellently, everyone who came on the field gave the maximum to the team, that's what I like ".



The Greek coach analyzed the game: "It was not an easy game. We knew that Basconia was in second place in the league in points from the transfer game, in general we opened the gap each time and they came back, but in the end we showed character and won. It was not easy to play back to back after the previous game, I am satisfied "How everyone showed up and expects us to continue like this in the next game. We will look game after game."

On the players who recently returned to fitness: "I do not expect players who have returned from injury to score excellently in every game, but they have to play with high intensity, there will be games they will score 20 and other games 5 points, but what matters is that they play good defense. "We learned after Olympiacos and I told the players that everyone should be ready, no matter how much they play. Sometimes the players want the game to come to them, they have to get into the game."



On Othello Hunter, who excelled against Basconia: "Othello is playing with the same players for the second year already, they know how to play together, they know each other, Scotty, Angelo, Elijah, Tyler, John and Zus, know each other "The other is very good. We have to understand that not everything is lucky, but with a lot of work we put in to move forward, we work on the media during the game. Othello is one of the important players who continues here from last season."



Basconia coach

Dusko Ivanovic
