The yellows improved their record to 6:2 with an 87:69 away victory over Baskonia Vitoria. Wilbekin sat out the second half because of a leg injury. On Monday: another away game, against Holon
Scottie Wilbekin picked up a leg injury and missed the second half, but even without him, Maccabi looked solid. The attack was balanced again, and the front line showed dominance in the paint. Fifty fans who traveled with Maccabi to Spain saw Derrick Williams leading the scorers’ list with 21 points.
Jalen Reynolds and Ante Zizic added 16 points each, while Keenan Evans proved again that he is a legitimate Euroleague player with 14 points, eight assists, and five rebounds.
Giannis Sfairopoulos’ players will now rest until Monday and then face Hapoel Holon in Winner league’s matchday 5. On Thursday, Maccabi will play against CSKA Moscow in what promises to be a huge battle between two playoff candidates.
