Incomplete joy. This is how the locker room of Maccabi Tel Aviv can be described at the end of last night's (Thursday) 73:77 victory over Panathinaikos in the fifth round of the Euroleague. The Yellows returned to a positive balance of three wins against two losses, but came out again with a lot of question marks because of their collapse in the last quarter.
Maccabi dominated the game unquestionably, leading by a record 20-point lead, 44:64, within the fourth quarter, but then Panathinaikos woke up, started scoring threes in the wholesale, and completed a 0:12 run that brought it back into the game. The difference dropped to 2 points near the end, but no more.
At the end of the game, coach Yannis Sapropoulos talked to the players and tried to pick them up, but already today he will go over with them the mistakes made in the last quarter.
"We won and that's the main thing," said Derrick Williams who scored 11 points, "I feel it was the first time we went on the floor and we were very good in the first half. In previous games it took us a while to be aggressive. James ran us in the first half. The whole game was good except for the last 3 minutes, need to fix it. We're a new team, we did not play enough games together. It can happen, anything can happen. We knew they were tough games, they did it before. "A very good team, their balance sheet does not show that, but you will see it down the road."
Roman Sorkin, who recorded a very good evening with 9 points and 6 rebounds, added: "We played very well 35 minutes on defense and on offense, let them return to the game in the last 5 minutes and we have to learn to play even when things do not go our way, we will learn from that and we We look forward to the next game. "

"There is nothing to say, come out smiling because we won, but too bad it ended like this," said one of Maccabi Tel Aviv after the game, "It would have been a perfect evening for us. A convincing win at home games at the beginning of the sequence, but instead, we We feel again that something is not working. "
After the game, Maccabi tried to put their finger on what causes the team to crash suddenly for the fourth time this season.
For the first time the team lost a 17-point advantage against Bayern Munich, then played very bad basketball against the Red Star, continued the display fell in the first half against Milan including a 2:19 run by the host, and continued yesterday in the game against Panathinaikos.
"A lot of these things start with a snowball resulting from inattention," one teammate tried to explain, "the composition is wrong, a sequence of threes, a few turnovers, and the team panics too quickly. Luckily for us this time we knew how to win the game."

On the positive side Maccabi Tel Aviv highly praised the novel's appearance minute decision Sorkin and Derrick Williams Scotsman and Oilbkin.
Sorkin recorded his best game in the Euroleague, precisely after not playing in the victory against Wheelerban and was a full partner in the loss against Gilboa / Galil on Sunday.
He was active from the moment he entered the parquet and earned his playing minutes from Yannis Sapropoulos.
"Roman will be a great player, he listens first," Derrick Williams said at the end of his teammate, "I was in the NBA and he takes advice from me and James (Nanley, A.S.), he keeps asking questions. It's good to have a player. "He's open to criticism and he can make mistakes, and he does not worry about it. He's a good guy. He can do anything, he blocks, he scores. He will continue to contribute, he is a Euroleague player, James also said that in the locker room."
Sorkin himself said that: "I was waiting for my opportunity, I did not do anything special, they gave me, they found me, and I wanted to make a good defense, glad it worked. Every game I get on the field I feel part. I always feel part of the team, I try to encourage Guys and say a good word. We're at Maccabi Tel Aviv and there are a lot of games, the coach told us there is a game you can not play and play after playing 30 minutes, you have to stay ready for the opportunity and take it. You always have to be ready, it's part of the sport, you have to take it "I ask James and Derrick questions because they were at the highest levels of basketball. I try to take advantage of their knowledge, you can always learn, and of course from them. They are very good guys, want to help."
Williams was the first to respond when Maccabi Tel Aviv tried to stop the visitors' run.
He scored two consecutive baskets that gave Maccabi breathing space, without which it would probably have lost.
"I try to take good shots, I try to create for my teammates, that's the main thing, we have a good team. As a veteran and leading player in this team, it's not only my responsibility, but of all the players in the team. I did not play well in the first half, my friends helped "I have to play better in the second half. What I can bring to the team is my experience. I just want to play the right way, and if you play like that, good karma will come."

As mentioned who was still good in the deciding moments was Scotty Wilbkin, who finished with a reasonable stat line of 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, but his game story is not simple.
Wilbkin missed all of his first 5 shots off the arc, finishing the first half with just 2 points.
Whoever took the game on was James Nanley with 16 points in the first half.
In the second half the creators flipped, Nanley calmed down with 2 points and Wilbkin scored 14 points, including 3 of 4 from outside the arc.
Yannis Sapropoulos admitted that he took Wilbkin out several times in the first half because he felt he was not good, but in the end received him in a completely different way.
"It feels like Scotty is coming out of this game, unlike the game against Wheelerban, with a good personal feeling that he was one of the players who played in Money Time," the club said, "now he will have to pull it off for the game against Jerusalem."

Maccabi Tel Aviv refused to talk after the game about the double week in the Euroleague that awaits them next week, but repeated one thing - the game against Hapoel Jerusalem on Saturday night.
The club wants to put behind them the loss to Gilboa / Galil, and not let Jerusalem and Hapoel Holon open a gap on them at the beginning of the season in the table.
On the professional side, Yannis Sapropoulos is expected to list most of his senior foreigners - Wilbkin, Keenan Evans and James Nanley, and select two of the four forwards and domestic players.
Ante Žižić, who returned to play last night and recorded a pretty good game with 6 points in almost 10 minutes, may dress up even though according to the team members is not yet ready to play long minutes so it is a gamble.
