It had to happen at some point, and it happened today (Thursday). Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv suffered its first home loss of the season – 79:86 to Barcelona – and dropped to a 4:3 record in the Euroleague. Three close quarters were followed by a bad deciding quarter in which the Yellows shot the ball at bad percentages and were punished instantly for it.

Unlike previous home games at Menora Mivtachim Arena, Maccabi’s attack was stuck due to Barcelona’s great defense. 18 points by Lorenzo Brown and 16 by Wade Baldwin didn’t help, and all focus now shifts to next Friday, when Oded Kattash’s team will face Partizan Belgrade away
