Summary: Barcelona - Valencia 87:79 (Sport 1)
1.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's good season in the Euroleague continued last night (Wednesday) when the Yellows defeated French Monaco 84:95. Thanks to the victory, Maccabi rose to a balance of seven victories against three losses, close to Zenit St. Petersburg in fourth place in the Euroleague. Tomorrow (21:00) Maccabi will meet Olympiacos in the 11th round.
The protagonist of the victory was Scotty Wilbkin. The Yellows' guard exploded with 37 points, after a less than good period, adding 8 assists en route to career highs in the Euroleague in points and index. He led the Yellows to the final quarter of 23:33, finishing the game as he demonstrated dominance against the French team that was close throughout most of the minutes of the game.
"This game says a lot about us. We showed what we can do, we played against a very good team, very athletic, they are very difficult under the basket, we showed a lot of character and it's a big win," concluded Jaylen Reynolds, who scored 10 points and added 6 rebounds in 16 minutes, adding on the good ability of the team after some less successful games: "It starts with training, we focused on the small details, we listened to the coach and focused on doing what we needed to do. The most important thing was to lift ourselves in training and correct what we are not doing right." .
Maccabi received all 95 of its points in the game from six players, when four players who came on the field - Cameron Taylor, Angelo Cloiaro, Roman Sorkin and John Dibertolomeo, did not score.
On the other hand, James Nanley contributed 16 points and Ante Žižić added 14 points and 11 rebounds.

As mentioned, this was Scotty Wilbkin's big night. On the evening when the jerseys of Oded Katash and Doron Sheffer went up to the ceiling of the hall, the guard managed to equal Sharonas Jasikevicius with the points record in a single game for a Maccabi Tel Aviv player in the Euroleague. And even though he claims it had no meaning for him, he did it when on the other side of the floor was Mike James, one of the Euroleague stars.
"Scotty is a piece of a player, he leads by example, we know what he can do. His ability to score is unbelievable, when he plays like that, it means a lot, we all pick up our game," Jaylen Reynolds told his teammate.
In Maccabi Tel Aviv, there has been a lot of talk in recent weeks about Wilbkin knowing what he needs to do and that he will show up when they need him, after less good ability lately.
He eventually exploded from the first moment in an important game for the Yellows, a game in which a loss would have definitively interrupted the momentum of the season opener.
"What you've seen from Scotty is a leader's performance," said one of the club's seniors.

The big battle of the game was under the baskets. Monaco took 18 rebounds on offense out of 50 balls that fell on Maccabi's side, but Ante Žižić recorded an excellent day, also defensively, and Reynolds added good shooting and offensive ability on the way to the important victory.
"I always have the ability to score, I like to fight under the basket, but I have other things I have not shown until now. The confidence I have makes me throw without thinking," Reynolds said of the element in his game.
Giza and Reynolds' fight under the baskets was with Dontae Hall.
The chin that came off the bench scored 18 points, added 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks and finished with an index of 29. Walla!
Sport learned that Hall was Maccabi Tel Aviv's leading candidate to succeed Othello Hunter last summer, and Maccabi talked a lot with the player and his agent, but Hall preferred to try and exhaust the NBA option.
When Jaylen Reynolds was released from Bayern Munich, Maccabi had already given up on the Hall option and signed Reynolds.
A month and a half later Hall gave up the best league in the world, and in Monaco they pounced on the bargain.
He is currently recording 10.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in the Euroleague.

Monaco admitted at the end of the game that they were a little surprised that Maccabi Tel Aviv continued to attack the basket in recent moves, even when the French team had already given up the game.
Maccabi explained that it is very possible that Monaco will be close to the Yellows in the fight for the playoffs at the end of the season, and that the difference has serious significance.
"A team that wants to get far, has to think about everything," said one of the Maccabi men, "We will play until the last second even if we are 20 behind or 20 ahead, especially at this stage of the season. These things have meanings later, and we do not want a basket One or the other will not meet our goals. "

As mentioned, before the game, Oded Katash and Doron Sheffer entered the Maccabim Hall, the duo that for several years in the 1990s was the one who led Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The achievements in the days of the two in the European arena were poorer, when Maccabi failed to qualify for the Final Four, and was eliminated in the crossover series.
Despite this, the yellow crowd longs to remember the days when the team's two leading guards were Israeli players.
And with a sharp look at the current team of the Yellows, in which the Israelis watched together for 9 minutes against Monaco.
All Maccabi Tel Aviv players who will be invited to the Israeli national team's training are expected to report for training this coming Monday.
After this training, some of them will be released back to training with Maccabi.
Jake Cohen is expected to be a full part of the Israeli national team, and it is possible that Ziv will also open.
Roman Sorkin is expected to join the team in the second game in Estonia.
