- Maccabi faces Panathinaikos in Athens in two days.
Maccabi Tel Aviv suffered a surprising and heavy 109-93 defeat to Besiktas in Belgrade on Wednesday, marking their second consecutive loss in the EuroLeague season after an opening-week upset against Villeurbanne. The team had hoped to secure their first win of the season on their home court, but instead delivered a poor performance.
Head coach Oded Katash expressed his disappointment, stating, "It was a bad game. I'm focusing on the first half. They shot excellently from beyond the arc, but during the game, we lost our confidence and our body language. This is a very disappointing loss, we didn't expect this and we will need to bounce back. In two days, we will need to respond very quickly."
Maccabi Tel Aviv now faces a challenging road game against Zeljko Obradovic's Panathinaikos in Athens in just two days, a significantly tougher opponent than they have faced thus far.
