It can’t get much more painful than this. After two consecutive Euroleague losses, Maccabi Playtika Tel-Aviv gave an excellent performance in Spain but lost 70:72 to Real Madrid in a tight thriller.
Giannis Sfairopoulos’ team was dominant almost throughout the whole game and entered the final quarter with a 9 point lead, but it wasn’t enough. Unfortunately, the yellows were unsuccessful in stopping the hosts from scoring in their last possession and are now counting three Euroleague defeats in a row.
Scottie Wilbekin led Maccabi’s scorers with 14 points. Keenan Evans and Ante Zizic added 10 points each. Maccabi will now face Irony Ness Ziona in Winner’s league (on Sunday) before hosting Unics Kazan next Thursday.
