48 hours after the disappointing loss to Barcelona, the Yellows will try to bounce back against another in-form Spanish team. Nebo: “A win over a competitor for a top-8 spot can prove crucial”
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.”
