The guard set a new personal record in the Euroleague as the Yellows beat the Germans 87:74. Lorenzo Brown left the game with a hurt ankle
Three days before the much anticipated Tel Aviv derby against Hapoel, Oded Kattash’s team seemed determined to put away the game as soon as possible. And so it did. A 15-point lead at the end of the first quarter turned into a 13-point lead at the final buzzer in a game in which the winner’s identity was never in doubt.
Baldwin’s performance was a bit overshadowed by the injury of his backcourt partner, Lorenzo Brown. Maccabi’s point guard left the court in the first quarter following an ankle injury and didn’t return to play. Hopefully, he will be able to play in the derby on Sunday. With or without him, Maccabi will have a real challenge to tackle against the Reds.
