Maccabi stunned Monaco in the opening game last Tuesday in a 79-67 victory to steal homecourt, however Monaco recovered and turned the momentum by leveling with an 86-74 game 2 victory.<\/p>\n<p>During the regular season, Maccabi held the best home record with 15 wins and 2 losses and they will be looking forward to having the crowd as the proverbial 6th man in the arena this week, as the stands will be drenched in yellow in front of the sold out crowd at Yad Eliyahu.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podomatic.com\/embed\/html5\/episode\/10525957?style=normal&#038;width=504&#038;height=208\" width=\"504\" height=\"208\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n\u201cWe are excited for tomorrow, to come back to play in front of our fans and I\u2019m sure it will be a crazy atmosphere,\u201d Maccabi coach Oded Katash said in the leadup to game 3. \u201cWe will need it \u2013 we need our fans. It will be an intense game and very physical game. Hopefully we\u2019ll come out tomorrow and play to win, play with confidence, to execute our game and we are excited. It\u2019s going to be a very tough matchup for both teams and it\u2019ll be an interesting game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s beautiful, the fans here are tremendous,\u201d Maccabi power forward Jarell Martin responded when asked about the atmosphere he can expect at Yad Eliyahu this week. \u201cI know for sure that the gym is going to be electrical tomorrow and we can\u2019t wait to come out and get going in front of home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin and starting power forward, Jake Cohen, have each struggled to start the series: in just under 30 minutes over both games, Martin has recorded 3 points (1\/14 from the field), 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers, for an aggregate performance index rating (PIR) of minus 12; in a little under 29 minutes, Cohen has gone 0\/5 from the field, with 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover for an aggregate PIR of 0. This is well below the average output of both players from the regular season and they will be looking to ride the wave of energy that they can expect from the home fans.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_81824\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81824\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/574E22FA-5A35-4CD5-98D0-F5C3004A0938.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-81824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/574E22FA-5A35-4CD5-98D0-F5C3004A0938.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/574E22FA-5A35-4CD5-98D0-F5C3004A0938-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/574E22FA-5A35-4CD5-98D0-F5C3004A0938-610x610.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/574E22FA-5A35-4CD5-98D0-F5C3004A0938-440x440.jpeg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-81824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jake Cohen &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cMaking a few shots would be nice,\u201d Cohen answered when asked about their performances on the road last week. \u201cBoth of us have had good looks, but just haven\u2019t fallen, that\u2019s going to happen sometimes. I think all our teammates have confidence in us which is why they keep passing us the ball and telling us to shoot. You know, they\u2019ll drop eventually, just got to keep playing with confidence and that\u2019s a big first step, but on the other side of things, on the other hand, I do think we\u2019re doing other good things too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot more to this game than just scoring the ball and although for me personally I haven\u2019t been making shot in this series, I think that I\u2019ve been doing other things that help the team as well.

Not only did they turn the series around with their game 2 victory, but they also know that they are able to score points in front of a hostile Yad Eliyahu crowd. While they lost their previous game in Tel Aviv \u2013 a 78-70 round 3 loss back in October, after fading away in a disappointing last quarter for them which Maccabi won 26-11 \u2013 Monaco held a 59-52 lead heading into the last quarter and even had a 19 point lead a few minutes before halftime.<\/p>\n<p>In that round 3 game, Jordan Loyd had a game high 30 PIR and an equal game high 21 points while shooting 50% from the field. He was also Monaco\u2019s best player in their game 2 victory, with a PIR of 36 and 33 points (5\/5 from 2 and 5\/9 from 3).<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_85850\" style=\"width: 2058px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85850\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_8265.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_8265.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_8265-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_8265-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jordan Loyd &#8211; Photo Credit: \u00a9\ufe0fDirection de la Communication \/ Stephane Danna<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3Lt3tUK\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cIt\u2019s funny, because I love playing in Israel,\u201d<\/a><\/strong> Loyd, who played for Hapoel Eilat in the 2017\/18 season, said in anticipation of game 3. \u201cI love going to Maccabi\u2019s gym and playing ever since I was in Eilat. I used to love going there and playing there. I\u2019m sure they won\u2019t be too fond of us now when we get there, but for me it\u2019s exciting. I love it, I love being on the road, road warrior is kind of my thing, so you just have to embrace it. Everything comes with ups and downs and I just kind of want to ride the wave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the contentious points from last week \u2013 especially game two \u2013 was the foul count. So far in the series, Maccabi has committed 57 fouls while only drawing 38 fouls, which has resulted in them going to the line 36 times (for 26 points) across two games compared to Monaco\u2019s 52 times (for 38 points). Together with the technical fouls \u2013 of which Maccabi was penalized with six in game 2 \u2013 left a bitter taste in the mouths of many Maccabi fans upon leaving Monaco. However, that\u2019s not to take anything away from Monaco, who clearly deserved to win last Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the first game, it was clear that they would be more aggressive,\u201d Katash said. \u201cThe referees let them play. Beyond that, they have individual players who are very good defensive players, physical and aggressive and we need to be ready for it. Playoffs are playoffs, it\u2019s not always beautiful and flowing, but we always need to find the way. We made a few adjustments. There was also fatigue after 48 hours, after rest I believe that tomorrow it\u2019ll look better. Of course, we need balls to go in and players to be better, there are things that you can\u2019t control, but we\u2019re focusing on the way that we\u2019re playing and that\u2019s what we want to do tomorrow against good defense.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_76645\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76645\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/25E2FE87-AECD-4EDF-A21B-98422C734D06.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/25E2FE87-AECD-4EDF-A21B-98422C734D06.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/25E2FE87-AECD-4EDF-A21B-98422C734D06-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jarell Martin &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nWhile Maccabi will be buoyant after winning a game on the road and knowing that the crowd will be on their side for the next two games, they can also take some positives out of game 2. Specifically, their bigs have outrebounded Monaco in both games in this series and they will look to continue that trend tonight through their aggressive style of play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to come back and be a little more aggressive,\u201d Martin said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to be the team to throw the first punch and maintain it throughout the whole course of the game, just that aggressiveness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just need to be making the extra plays, doing the little things, there\u2019ll be big rewards in the end, getting more offensive rebounds and being more physical on the defensive end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The home fans will hope that the team can replicate their overall performance from game 1, while some of their stars can recapture their form from the latter-end of the regular season, to book a ticket to the final four by the time the final buzzer sounds on Thursday night.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_75626\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75626\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/067959F2-5DDD-41A8-A338-06B2DCE7BBE2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/067959F2-5DDD-41A8-A338-06B2DCE7BBE2.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/067959F2-5DDD-41A8-A338-06B2DCE7BBE2-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-75626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lorenzo Brown and Jake Cohen &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cI think we need to embrace this challenge that we have ahead of us,\u201d Cohen summed up the outlook for the games ahead. \u201cMonaco\u2019s a very good team. The EuroLeague playoffs are something special. We need to appreciate the opportunity that we have. Not very often in your career do you have a chance to play in these kinds of moments, so it\u2019s important to approach them with a sense of gratitude and acknowledgement that these things are great opportunities that you can remember for the rest of your life. I think that will give you a certain level of humility and you\u2019ll be more present in the moment and enjoy and when you\u2019re doing those things, I think you\u2019ll play better, because you\u2019re more mindful of yourself and what you\u2019ve done to get there, the hard work that you\u2019ve put in, the cohesiveness that you have as a team. So it\u2019s important to remember those kinds of things. That allows us to play our best, if we have mindfulness and of course playing at home, it always helps having the energy of the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After two road games to start its EuroLeague quarterfinal series, Maccabi Tel Aviv returns home for game 3 this evening, Tuesday night and game 4 on Thursday (both games at 21:05 IDT \/ 14:05 EDT) against AS Monaco.
