And yet there have been a number of those close shave wins and losses so far this season. <\/p>\n<p>Katash was clearly aware that Real Madrid were coming into this matchup in about the same exact shape as the yellow-and-blue after a tight loss at Olympiacos where Chus Mateo also used a short rotation of players in their 79-69 loss to the Greeks. <\/p>\n<p>The Maccabi bench boss also knew that Los Blancos would not be playing Serge Ibaka due to him having already featured earlier in the week as the NBA Champion is slated only play one game in a double week. Katash then received an additional bonus when Dzanan Musa didn\u2019t play despite having been dressed as Madrid\u2019s rotation took yet another hit.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_122829\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-122829\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-10-31-at-21.40.26.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" class=\"size-full wp-image-122829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-10-31-at-21.40.26.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-10-31-at-21.40.26-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-10-31-at-21.40.26-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-10-31-at-21.40.26-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-10-31-at-21.40.26-610x406.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-10-31-at-21.40.26-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-122829\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jasiel Rivero &#8211; Photo credit: Djorde Kostic<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nWith that, Katash made sure to keep his team\u2019s heads up after the tight loss to Fenerbahce as he said after that game that he wasn\u2019t sure if he was more frustrated or proud but he was in essence both. <\/p>\n<p>Well, against Real Madrid he was overwhelmingly proud by the time the clock showed all zeroes and Maccabi somehow against all odds with their rotation and injury issues moved their record to 3-4 which puts them right in the middle of a very messy Euroleague standings with tons of teams all bunched up together. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy,\u201d Katash said after the game. \u201cBut the staff and players understand the situation that we are in.
