Led by James Nunnally (25 points), the yellows got a convincing 93:85 over the French champions and improved their Euroleague record to 2:2. On Sunday: Gilboa-Galil
It was Giannis Sfairopoulos’ team’s best game of the season so far, against an opponent that didn’t lose until this evening. The offensive flow was much better, a fact that helped the Israeli champs withstand a bad shooting day from Scottie Wilbekin (0 of 8 from beyond the arc).
Nunnally, as mentioned, was on fire, but both centers contributed as well – Jalen Reynolds with 17 points, Mathias Lessort with 9. Keenan Evans scored 13 and had a significant part in today’s important win.
Maccabi will now hope to maintain the same form and carry the momentum to next week’s clash with Panathinaikos at Menora-Mivtachim Arena. Before that, Gilboa-Galil awaits the yellows in the Winner’s League matchday two, on Sunday.
