Is Maccabi Tel Aviv's European season still alive?
If the Yellows, who stopped a streak of eight consecutive losses, continue with the ability they showed tonight (Thursday) in the crushing and impressive 69:84 over Olympiacos, anything else can happen.
The players of Yannis Sapropoulos have not played in the last 17 days due to the corona virus that hit them and the opposing teams, and it was not clear how they would react to the forced long break.
The Greek coach promised at the press conference that his players would come pounce on the floor to get back to business and knew what he was talking about.
Maccabi came determined from the first moment and neutralized the quality rival that is ranked in the first quartet in the factory.
In the first 20 minutes, the Greeks remained close, but the second half was already a Tel Aviv show.

Ante Žižić, one of the yellow anchors in recent months, was wonderful under the baskets with 23 points and 32 index points, Keenan Evans gave good minutes and also Scotty Wilbkin did his thing.
From the other side, Tyler Dorsey did not continue the tradition of exes coming to Tel Aviv and exploding on Maccabi, but was stopped for 12 points.
Next week, two Euroleague games await Maccabi Tel Aviv in 48 hours - Alba Berlin (Tuesday) and Fenerbahce (Thursday). In the history of the club she will "come back from the grave" after everyone has eulogized her.

During the game, the Yellows held a dignified and exciting ceremony in which they introduced the legendary former coaches Joshua Rosin and Ralph Klein to the club's Hall of Fame.
