It was the biggest Maccabi loss in the club's history in the EuroLeague playoffs. Maccabi are heading back home trailing 0-2 in the best-of-five series.

Despite that, Maccabi's head coach Avi Even remained optimistic, saying that Tel Aviv's home crowd will have its effect.

"It will be totally different games," Even said to EuroLeague TV. "We gotta learn from those games and to come to Tel Aviv – a place where we feel much safer. I believe that we'll find a way (to comeback).

"I know we'll find a way. We have a few days to prepare ourselves, and we'll do it," Even said confidently.

Game 3 will take place in Tel Aviv on Tuesday at 8:05 pm CET.
