For three quarters it seemed like Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv was en route to a win in one of the toughest arenas in Europe, but a bad fourth quarter cost the Yellows heavily. Maccabi lost 88:96 to Partizan Belgrade away and dropped its Euroleague record to 4:4.

In front of nearly 20,000 ecstatic fans in Stark Arena, Oded Kattash’s players showed no fear and provided an excellent offensive game. Led by Wade Baldwin (23 points and 7 assists), the guests were in control for 30 minutes but failed to create a meaningful run that would grant them the win.

On Sunday, the Yellows will try to bounce back when they face Hapoel Tel Aviv in a much-expected city Derby.
