Maccabi Tel Aviv fell to Fenerbahce 85-75 as the yellow-and-blue came all the way back from being 20 points down to take the lead but couldn\u2019t hold on to it as time wound down and the reigning Euroleague champs took home the win. The loss dropped Maccabi\u2019s record to 2-8 in Euroleague play as a date with Baskonia is up next on Thursday night. <\/p>\n

Khem Birch and Tarik Biberbovic scored for Feberbahce while Lonnie Walker and Jaylen Hoard found points for Maccabi Tel Aviv but a triple and free throws for Wade Baldwin gave the hosts a 20-15 lead after ten minutes of play.

\nMikael Jantunen and Nicolo Melli both went from deep, Roman Sorkin and Jaylen Hoard responded, Talen Horton-Tucker scored while Gur Lavy hit a deuce and a triple but a Devon Hall bucket at the end of the half helped Fenerbahce to a 40-30 advantage. <\/p>\n

Hall picked up where he left off with a quartet of 3-pointers to begin the third quarter, TJ Leaf and Sorkin countered, Baldwin went from the inside and outside and then added a 3-point play, Sorkin put in more points while Will Rayman went from deep but Sarunas Jasikevi\u010dius\u2019s side stayed ahead 65-56 after thirty minutes of action. <\/p>\n

Rayman scored off the glass, Hoard put in a 3-point play, Tamir Blatt went from deep, Sorkin scored a 3-point play, Jeff Dowtin hit a jumper, Baldwin scored from the line and added a 3-pointer, while Horton-Tucker also scored to close out the win for the Turkish squad.

\u201cI\u2019m proud how we came back into the game,\u201d Maccabi Tel Aviv Head Coach Oded Katash began. \u201cWe stayed there even though we couldn\u2019t buy a shot in the first half. When we were down, we were there and that is very important and gain we had a chance to win the game which is very important. In a double week it\u2019s always tricky and I will need to see who has the energy to play including those who didn\u2019t get into the flow of things in this game.\u201d

\nWill Rayman spoke about the defeat and what the team can take out of the loss, \u201cWe are good enough to play at this level and compete and win games but we are just missing the extra, closing the games and the push to get us over the hump. It\u2019s really frustrating and we all feel it and we all know that we are good enough. We need to just get a win and play team ball along with intensity and defense along with rebounding better which are there things that we can control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff Dowtin discussed the upcoming game against Baskonia on Thursday, \u201cWe haver to start games off with a lot more energy and enthusiasm. We got down early and we fought back as a team but we put ourselves in a deep hole and we have to execute a lot earlier. We have shown that we can do it and we have to be consistent, start the games as we finish them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
