With time becoming a premium late in the game, both Pierre Jackson (11p\/8a) and Deshaun Thomas came off the bench and scored huge points in money time as the former scored 7 points, draining 4 free throws and a triple while running around the court like a jackrabbit to close out the win while the latter also dropped 7 points but none bigger than his game winner with 1:26 left in the game.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_1383.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_1383.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3819\" height=\"2889\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9575\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>3-Pointers<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>1) John Dibartolomeo<\/strong> took the bull by the horns and grabbed his opportunity with both hands, scoring 10 huge points in the last 2:11 of the 3rd quarter when Pierre Jackson was forced out due to foul trouble. Earlier this week, I asked both John and Coach Neven Spahija about his growing pains in the Euroleague and they said that it was a process of learning how to play at this level. There\u2019s no question about John\u2019s effort on the floor and the coach certainly knows that, \u201cHe has suffered a lot and it\u2019s his first Euroleague season as well. He gave everything, his heart and soul on the court and I appreciate it. He found a way to compensate for Pierre Jackson\u2019s two fouls. He was a very important part of this game even if he was a -4.\u201d Of course the ever demanding Spahija always wants his players to improve. John also spoke about his performance as well, \u201cI try to come in a do the best I can. My coaches and teammates continue to look for me and tell me to shoot and be aggressive. I was happy that I had more of impact.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26827753_1767627293311394_608584713_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26827753_1767627293311394_608584713_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26827753_1767627293311394_608584713_o.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26827753_1767627293311394_608584713_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26827753_1767627293311394_608584713_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26827753_1767627293311394_608584713_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26827753_1767627293311394_608584713_o-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26827753_1767627293311394_608584713_o-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>2)<\/strong> <strong>Alex Tyus<\/strong> had three huge dunks in the 3rd quarter which set the tone for a frame that has caused some issues for the Yellow &#038; Blue this season. With the score tied up at 41-41 Jackson dished out one of his 8 assists to Tyus right into his happy zone above the rim while the next play down the floor Jackson\u2019s bounce pass to the big man put him in the perfect position to slam it home. Later on he cleaned up a Roll missed layup with a Slamma Jamma Dunakroo. Obviously, the dunk is aesthetically pleasing but it also takes the fans out of their seats and creates positive momentum which everyone feeds off of. With 8 points in the 3rd Tyus along with DiBartolomeo\u2019s 10 really paced Maccabi in what I believe is the money time ten minutes. Tyus spoke about the game from his point of view, \u201cIt was a good win to get back on track. It feels good to win again. I\u2019m just trying to do my part and my job to help the team win.\u201d He did his job in roughly 17 minutes of play.

He works very hard to get back and he was huge tonight.\u201d Tyus also chimed in on Thomas\u2019s return, \u201cWe know DT can score really well in the post and we missed him for a couple of weeks.\u201d What did Michael Roll think about Thomas? \u201cDeshaun is just a scorer just like riding a bike for him.\u201d And finally did Deshaun himself think he would be on the court at the end of the game? \u201cI was anxious sitting on the bench for so long but I knew that I was going to be minute restricted. I was surprised when he called me and then it went from there. I shot that so many times in my career, it was a big shot and I\u2019m happy I knocked it down.

John DiBartolomeo commented about his play, \u201cHickman has been in the Euroleague for a long time. He\u2019s a great scorer and great player and he\u2019s tough to guard and kept us on our heels. He carried Bamberg for a lot of the second half. But DeAndre came in and we threw different guys at him to slow him down and it allowed us to come back.\u201d Kane definitely was a key player in shutting Hickman down in crunch time after he ran wild over the 3rd and 4th quarters, \u201cHickman made some huge shots. We switched up the coverage a lot and he capitalized but it was a team effort guarding him and we did a good job in the 4th quarter. He made 5 straight threes and I had to do something to try and not let him touch it.\u201d The defensive stopper also talked about the other things that help a team to the win, \u201cWe always look at the scoring because that\u2019s what gives you the points but it\u2019s the other things, stops, rebounds, blocks and the like that really helps us win the games. It was a team effort.\u201d Coach Spahija also discussed Hickman\u2019s play and spoke about how sometimes these things are also because of putting a new team together as they go through growing pains, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to understand the mistakes of the players, going underneath the screen and the like, but this is the process of playing for the first time together.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26828782_1767626973311426_1281238722_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26828782_1767626973311426_1281238722_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1429\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26828782_1767626973311426_1281238722_o.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26828782_1767626973311426_1281238722_o-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26828782_1767626973311426_1281238722_o-1024x715.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26828782_1767626973311426_1281238722_o-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26828782_1767626973311426_1281238722_o-1536x1072.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/26828782_1767626973311426_1281238722_o-1080x754.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Overtime<\/strong><br \/>\nBamberg Head Coach <strong>Andrea Trinchieri<\/strong> is undoubtedly one of the best in the business and he unleashed his wrath on the referees following the game, \u201cThe referees decided the game. We deserved to win and basically they didn\u2019t let us win. If you give all the calls to Jackson you have to give us the calls under the basket. My team deserved to win the game.\u201d I say sour grapes. The referees were consistently inconsistent all night long for both sides. Jackson was called for back to back fouls in the 3rd quarter, there were plenty of non calls on Bamberg\u2019s side after found and traveling violations that the referees decided to swallow their whistle on. Were there fouls by Maccabi players near the end of the game? Certainly, but you have to look at the whole picture, not just the last minute of the contest. Yes, the Yellow &#038; Blue had plenty of free throws (and missed plenty too) but at the end of the day the referees didn\u2019t decide the game, it was Hackett, Rubit, Hickman and Zizis going 0\/4 over the last 1:40 that did.
