Who saw Maccabi Tel Aviv and wasn’t… afraid of it!
The team of “the people” was stormy against the Virtus Bolognawhich and crushed inside its always “hot” headquarters with the impressive 111-80as part of the 31st Euroleague match!
Auden Katas set shot me amazing rates throughout the match (26/37 from the field, 70.3%), effectively “cleaning” the pink match sheet from the first half, which found her at +29 for the emphatic 62-33! In fact, the Israelis finished the match with 38 assists!
Leading the way for the winners, who climbed to No. 6 with an 18-13 record, while seeing 7 players with double-digit points (!), was Hilliard with 16 points, with the Brown and Baldwin to add 14 each. For the Italians, who dropped to 13-18 and 14th place… only the Otzelege with 16 points…
The match:
Maccabi entered the match … exhausted, and thanks to its very good accuracy behind the 6.75m, it built an early double-digit difference, closing the first quarter at +15 for 28-13. And while Virtus held on and was in the game until the middle of the second period (43-31), the hosts put their foot on the… gas and disappeared! Specifically, with an impressive 16-0 streak (!), blew the lead, ending the first half at +29 and 62-33!
The scene was similar in the second half, where the “people’s team” had no desire to turn around, and with its “weapon” polyphony in the attack it reached +39 (79-40), for 87-53 of the third period. Naturally, the final quarter was procedural, with Maccabi cruising to their most impressive win of the season with the final 111-80!
The quarters: 28-13, 62-33, 87-53, 111-80.
