It has been said and proved before, but the Euroleague season only gives you a little time to dwell on disappointments or celebrate victories. On Thursday (9:30 pm Israel time, 2:30 pm EST), only 48 hours after the painful loss to Barcelona in a game that felt within reach, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv will clash with another Spanish opponent, wishing for a different outcome.
Again, it will take work. Valencia is in great shape and won its last 5 in the Euroleague. Beyond that, this is a game that may prove vital. Alex Mumbru's team is a direct competitor of Maccabi for a top 8 spot, with only one game separating the two in the table. Their last meeting occurred two months ago, and the Yellows triumphed 84:68 in Tel Aviv.

"We have already moved on from losing against Barcelona," Oded Kattash stressed. "The Euroleague schedule is demanding, and our focus is solely on the next game. Valencia is a strong team on a five-game winning streak. We must stick to our game plan and disrupt their flow, especially when they are playing at home."
"We have already forgotten about the game against Barcelona," Josh Nebo added. "Valencia has a strong front line, but they also have a well-rounded team with many players who can step up on any given day. A victory would mean a lot to us because Valencia is directly competing with us for a top-8 spot."
