3,000 Supported by the fans, Maccabi played like wings and Š.Jasikevičius did not get angry during the match.
During one of the minute breaks, Shar educated Roland Schmidt, who hadn’t done his job, both in defense and in words.
“Who the heck is here ?! After all, now is the end of March! Take two steps to avoid the transfer. Which hand is Casspi playing with?” – along with a tirade of swear words in English and Russian, Shar yelled at the Latvian.
The sermons did not help the students, although Barça was very close to victory.
Big mistake made by the Catalans at the end of extra time, when Nikola Mirotičius was penalized for a technical foul for crossing the line of the rival ball’s launch, and with it the Maccabi basketball players quickly turned the tie into a 3- point advantage – 97:94.
On the other side of the field, Brandon Davies had a chance to snatch overtime, but his three-point shot missed the goal.
“At the end of the match, when you reach such a situation, the fate of the match is decided by the details. Both teams were able to win. But given the level at which we have been playing the last two weeks, this defeat seems logical to me,” said Barça strategist.
Š.Jasikevičius emphasized that he is very disappointed with the defense.
“When you don’t play 100%, you can’t beat anything,” Shar said.

The Lithuanian specialist also recalled that last weekend in the Spanish league match “Barça” practically miraculously survived.
“As a coach, you always try to learn even when you win a match. When you win, if you don’t play well, you talk to the guys and tell them that all is not well. This happened once, for the second time, for the third time, when we beat Fuenlabrad in a practically miraculous way, which are signs that we have to stretch, ”said the Kaunas neighbor.
Despite the defeat, Barça continues to lead the Euroleague with 23 wins and 9 losses. To secure first place, the Catalans must beat Fenerbahche Istanbul or Bayern Munich in the remaining two rounds.
It is true that Barça can take first place even after losing both games, if only CSKA Moscow and Anadolu Efes Istanbul achieve it at least once.
