The Yellows secured a third win this season over their big rivals, 83:78 away. Derrick Williams led the visitors’ scorers with 17 points
It was Maccabi’s third win over the Reds this season and one that was secured after some nerve-wracking moments. The lead changed hands many times to set a thrilling fourth quarter.
Jalen Reynolds, James Nunnally, and Kameron Taylor were left out of the roster, but their absence was less significant in an evening where Derrick Williams (17 points) and John DiBartolomeo (14 points) carried Maccabi. Jake Cohen deserves praises, too, as he sealed the win with crucial free throws he made.
Maccabi will not have too much time to rest. On Monday, the Israeli champs will face Bney Herzeliya away, and three days later, meet Baskonia Vitoria at Menora Mivtachim Arena.
