Today’s schedule of the Euroleague playoffs includes two very big matches, with Maccabi Tel Aviv to welcome her Monaco and Partisan to host her Real Madrid for Game 4 of the two series.
In the first game of the night, Maccabi and Monaco cross their swords on the floor of the “Yad Eliyahu Arena” (21:05), only two days after the “break” and the victory of the Monegasques with 83-78 for the 2-1 in the series. As you can easily see, the home team is playing tonight last “paper” them to stay alive in the hunt for a Final 4 berth, looking to send the series to a fifth match in the Principality. With its hot seat as an ally, his team Auden Katas will try to present its well-known good face on Israeli soil and make it 2-2.
On the other hand, Monaco succeeded with… good morning their goal in Israel, which was none other than to turn off break conceded in Game 1 of the series. Now, free from the stress and pressure of “must”, but also with the psychology at the height after last Tuesday’s pink card, she will look tonight for her third victory that will bring her to the Final 4 of the institution for the first time in her story. On the plus side for him Sasha Obradovic is the fact that he does not face injury problems.
A little while later now, namely at 21:30, the Partisan will host in the packed and… hot “Stark Arena” the Real Madrid. After what sadly happened in Game 2 at the “Wizink Center”, where the Serbians left with a 2-0 lead, Madrid responded on Tuesday night in Belgrade, taking the victory with marginal 82-80, simultaneously erasing one of the two “breaks”!
His team Zelimir Obradivitch has one more chance in front of its audience to get the coveted third victory and check the ticket for the Final 4 of Kaunas, having tonight in its composition Matias Lessor, who served the one-game ban imposed on him after the incidents in Madrid. On the other hand, the “bomber” remains out due to punishment. Kevin Pander, as of course the guard, Alexa Abramovich, who suffered a broken hand during Game 3, missing the rest of the season.
On the other side now, Real Madrid despite that found on… canvas after the two defeats in Madrid, but also the fact that he had to face one hostile atmosphere in Belgrade, succeeded and got a reaction, reducing the series to 2-1. Of course, his return also played a big role in this Eddie Tavares, who, in the best appearance of his career at Euroleague level, led the “merenches” to the pink match sheet. Now, the Madrid players are called to give one more match… survival in a few 24 hours, so that they can send the series to a fifth match in Madrid and not say goodbye to the competition in disgrace. On the plus side for Chus Mateo, his return Grabriel Dec from the punishment of a match.
