The playoffs started in the Euroleague and already on the first day of the competition, a fantastic fight took place between the teams of Maccabi Tel Aviv and Panathinaikos of Athens represented by Marios Grigonis.
The Tel Aviv club beat the Athens team 91:87 away from home and went 1-0 in the series up to three victories.
Maccabi achieved victory despite suffering an injury at the beginning of the fourth quarter Wade Baldwin. The American left the field clutching his leg muscle and never returned.
Although W. Baldwin showed character and while communicating with “Israel Hayom” journalist Tomer Givati, the defender emphasized that he hopes to step on the field in the next match, that will not happen. The club officially announced that after a magnetic resonance examination, a tear in the thigh muscle was detected.
The second leg of the series will also take place in Athens on Thursday night before the series moves to Belgrade, where Maccabi play their home games this season.
