Maccabi Tel Aviv will host tonight (20:45) Cibona Zagreb. Spahija: nobody has been able to destroy them, it will be tough
Maccabi Tel Aviv will try to keep its perfect home record tonight (20:45) against Cibona Zagreb at Nokia arena on euroleague week 12. Maccabi look to bounce from back to back road defeats at Rome and Badalona. At Nokia arena Maccabi won 13 euroleague games in a row, while Cibona is still looking for its first road victory this season. Coach Neven Spahija:” Cibona is a very good team. There is more balance on the team than the team that played last season. Nobody has been able to destroy them or beat them by a big margin from the very beginning of the season, so it’s going to be a tough game. We think we are a better team and together with our fantastic fans we should win this game. Regarding Will Bynum, Spahija said: he is a very talented player, but we need to take some pressure off him. Drazen Anzulovic, cibonas coach: I love the atmosphere here but its very difficult to beat Maccabi at nokia. We have to control the tempo and stay focus for the entire 40 minutes in order to have a chance to win here. In the first meeting between the clubs this season Cibona won 82-87.
