Maccabi Tel Aviv suffered a very painful loss tonight (Thursday) with 72:70 to Bayern Munich and was left with a balance of 14:10, which will make it very difficult for them to get into the top eight in the Euroleague.
Ante Žižić stood out with 18 points and 10 rebounds, but even that was not enough when Scotty Wilbkin missed on the buzzer the three that could have been a three-pointer.
Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Yannis Sapropoulos said after the game: "It was a close game throughout, we brought the game to the pace we wanted, we were very good on the defensive side, we kept Bayern on a low score. We led throughout most of the game. The most important part of the game was the opening quarter. Fourth, we did not do well on offense, we did not hit the ball and got stuck. In defense we missed a lot of rebounds and allowed them easy shots. We lost because of the small details. The game could have ended here or there, we had the last shot, we sinned - we move on "What can we do? As long as we have a mathematical chance, we will fight."

We won as a team trying to find its strongest five for the last 6-5 minutes of the game. It was My goal. My players followed suit and I believe we should be happy tonight. It's a huge win. We have a team that does not want to lose. We are not perfect, we make a lot of mistakes. Sometimes we complicate our lives with mistakes that are not seen at these levels, but we "We don't want to lose so we fight until we find a way to win. Maybe we could have won in a more relaxed way, we made two bad offensive moves, but we managed to recover and in the end we got a big win."
Wade Baldwin, who excelled with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, said: "It was a tough game from the first moment. Maccabi is a hungry team, it has amazing guards and great highs. This victory was achieved through a team effort. I am so happy for everyone. Nick Wheeler Bab scored two such important shots in the money time that gave us the win, he did it many times this season.You see what James Gist brings to this team: his defensive effort, his activism.We are a diverse team and we do a good job so far, But there are eight more games. "
Jaylen Reynolds, who scored 15 against the Ex, added: "This is a special night for me because I played against the Ex. It's always fun to play against a team you played for in the past. I wanted to be there for the team tonight, be a good teammate, pass the ball and finish when handed over. It is a special night and I am happy that we achieved the victory. "
