The Great Escape! When I was a child I used to go to an amusement park near Lake George and Glens Falls, New York called The Great Escape, and that\u2019s what it was, a fun time and an escape from reality. Maccabi\u2019s reality for 30 minutes was for all intents and purposes the end of their Euroelague campaign but some how they kept the dream alive with that great escape in the final ten minutes outscoring Darussafaka 22-9 to snatch the victory from the jaws of defeat. After sleep walking through three quarters, Scottie Wilbekin woke up and drained three triples, none bigger than his last one to give Maccabi the winning points over his former team. The guard admittedly had a brutal game up until money time, \u201cI was out of it and couldn\u2019t find a rhythm. When I got the offensive foul it got me going a bit.\u201d But really it\u2019s credit to all of the players for playing the full forty minutes and that\u2019s what Coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos noted in his post game comments, \u201cThe most important thing is that we never gave up and fought until the end. Unfortunately, we didn\u2019t perform well in the first 3 periods. But we had a good effort in the 4th quarter and came back into the game. In the end we deserved to win.\u201d The coach continued, \u201cThis win is a big win and belongs to the players, they deserve this type of win and they were the protagonists on the court. We are Maccabi and we will fight until the end.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12296\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_1986.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12296\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_1986-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_1986-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_1986-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_1986-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_1986-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_1986-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12296\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tolga Adanali<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n2) With two wins in a row, Maccabi will look to take a third next week at home against Baskonia and continue to build on the positive momentum. \u201cWe now have two wins in a row after the start that we had. I feel that we are going in the right direction,\u201d Wilbekin said post game. O\u2019Bryant echoed his teammate\u2019s thoughts, \u201cWe showed are toughness, stuck together and pulled it out. We need to string some wins together to get things going. We dug kind of a big hole but overall everyone is in a great place. Coach is staying on us so we\u2019re ready to continue to move forward.\u201d I&#8217;m sure Sfairopoulos is staying on top of them, because he knows full well that a loss to 1-9 Darussafaka would have been disastrous.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12297\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_2200.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12297\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/STA_2200-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12297\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tolga Adanali<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n3) Maccabi has got to keep on winning if they have any designs of a playoff spot. The Yellow &#038; Blue host Baskonia this week and then welcome an Alexey Shved-less Khimki to Tel Aviv. After that they head to Zalgiris which will be as aways a very, very tough game. Maccabi needs to go into Lithuania with a 5-8 record and they are all aware of that. But the key to get to that point will be hard work and if they don\u2019t they will be in big trouble. They may be headed in the right direction and building confidence, but both Baskonia and Khimki will punish them with a big L if they will play the first 30 minutes as they did against Darussafaka and believe me, they know it.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12298\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/GOGO6177.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12298\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/GOGO6177-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12298\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tolga Adanali<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>Overtime<\/strong><br \/>\nMaccabi always seem to allow a guard to carve them up, especially one that just signed with a team and barely completed one practice. That was Toney Douglas. 14 points for the veteran. But over the final quarter Maccabi clamped down and #23 couldn\u2019t buy a bucket as it was his shot that Tarik Black blocked which led to Wilbekin\u2019s 3-pointer giving Maccabi a 73-68 lead and never looked back.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_12299\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/GOGO6630.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12299\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/GOGO6630-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12299\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-12299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tolga Adanali<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>And-1<\/strong><br \/>\n* Maccabi had 5 players in double figures, DiBartolomeo, O\u2019Bryant, Wilbekin, Black and Kendrick Ray.<br \/>\n* Black had 5 blocks to go with 10 points and 8 rebounds.<br \/>\n* Ray had a good showing night going 4\/7 with a pair of 3\u2019s.<br \/>\n* After scoring the opening basket of the game, Wilbekin was silent until his 3 pointer outburst in the 4th.<br \/>\n* Maccabi won the battle on the boards 50-37 with 15 offensive rebounds but only had 11 assists compared to Darussafaka\u2019s 21.<br \/>\n* Caloiaro went 1\/1 from the field in close to 25 minutes on the court, but his bucket gave Maccabi a 70-68 lead on the way to the win.<br \/>\n* Maccabi went 10\/22 from 3-point land with 6 coming in the 4th quarter.<br \/>\n* Scottie Wilbekin was honored by Darussafaka before the game for helping the team win the EuroCup last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi Tel Aviv needed a Chanukah miracle as they escaped Istanbul with a 73-71 victory over Darusasfaka to improve their Euroleague record to 3-8 keeping their continental season alive.
