What a drama.

Maccabi Tel Aviv survived tonight (Thursday) thriller with Real Madrid, won 84:86 and improved positions in the close battle for the top 8. This happened mainly thanks to Tyler Dorsey who provided a record in his career in the Euroleague with 30 points (7 from 9 to 2, 4 from 5 to 3, 4 of 4 from the line) and helped break a streak of six losses to Blancos.

No less important: Maccabi Tel Aviv finally survives a close game, even though tonight they almost kicked a bucket in Money Time.

The Yellows are now on a balance of 11:10, and next week they expect a pair of games against Turkish rivals - Fenerbahce and Anadolu Efes.

Yannis Sapropoulos

said at the end: "In the first quarter we played not well on defense and in the second quarter we were much better. We absorbed only 13 points and returned to the game, it was important to return to the game before the half. We fought with all our might to win."

On the penalty offenses at the end: "We need to be more focused in the final minutes."

On the Yellows' man of the match, Tyler Dorsey: "Tyler has some great games this season like tonight and he was very important for us to get back in the game. Also in the second half he was very important, especially towards the end. It is very important for us that he is hot. He can not score. "Every game has 30 points, but today he did great."
