The Yellows lifted the title for the ninth time in their history and ended a perfect week before the Euroleague opener against Bayern Munich on Thursday. Roman Sorkin was excellent with 16 points, ten rebounds, and 5 blocks. Nunnally was crowned MVP
Without injured Ante Zizic and Yiftach Ziv, Maccabi dominated the final from beginning to end and sealed it with a 14:0 run late in the 4th quarter to make the win even more emphatic. James Nunnally was named the final MVP, but Roman Sorkin was the one guy who stole the show with incredible defense and 16 points (10 rebounds).
Now the focus shifts to Thursday. The yellows will then meet Bayern Munich in the Euroleague’s first matchday, and coach Sfairopoulos can be optimistic in light of the ability his players displayed defensively throughout the Winner’s Cup (no opponent has scored more than 70 points). See you on Thursday, Yalla Maccabi!
Maccabi’s scorers: James Nunnally 19 points, Roman Sorkin 16, Keenan Evans 11, Jalen Reynolds 9, John DiBartolomeo and Angelo Caloiaro 8, Jake Cohen 7, Oz Blayzer and Scottie Wilbekin 6, Oded Brandwein 2
