Maccabi Tel Aviv secured their third EuroLeague victory of the season, defeating Hapoel Tel Aviv 80-73 in a league game on Thursday. The win improved Maccabi's record to 8-3, helping them move away from the bottom of the standings. Coach Oded Katash highlighted the team's character and resilience in overcoming challenges during the game.
Katash noted that the team started well defensively, showing energy despite some missed shots. However, injuries to players like Yam Madar and foul trouble for Kithon Wallace put the team in a difficult situation, especially with a lack of guards and pressure from Hapoel on Jimmy Clark. "It wasn't pretty basketball, we couldn't develop fluid play but we managed to win with a lot of character," Katash stated.
He added that the previous game had given the team confidence. Despite further injuries to Oushe Brissett and Madar, Katash emphasized that the team managed to win "with a lot of heart." The victory followed Maccabi Tel Aviv's earlier win against Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Winner Cup final.
