On Thursday: Maccabi and Barcelona clash in Tel Aviv
The Yellows return home to face the Catalans in a classic European encounter. Adams: "We need to dictate our style of play"
Both teams have a positive 4:2 record, but the Yellows can draw optimism from the fact that they defeated Barca in the last five meetings in Tel Aviv. Roman Sorkin is suffering from pain in his hamstring and did not participate in the final training session ahead of the game
“I don’t think we put in enough effort to deserve a win against Baskonia”, Oded Kattash said. “I say worthy because you can do enough and still lose. We need to be in a situation where by the end of the season we will be sad if we lose, but not feel disappointment because we made the right effort.”
“We’re definitely still thinking about the game against Baskonia”, added Jalen Adams. “We’re taking what was negative there and trying to learn to play well from the start. We must have a sense of urgency and dictate our game from the get-go”.
Barcelona hands Maccabi first home loss of the season
The Yellows lost 79:86 to the Catalans at Menora Mivtachim Arena and dropped to a 4:3 record in the Euroleague. Brown scored 18 points
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
