The Yellows defeated Winner’s league champions 84:74 and set a new club record of 25 offensive rebounds. Sorkin scored 15. On Tuesday: Maccabi hosts Bologna
Oded Kattash’s players dominated the game from the beginning, playing good defense and moving the ball well on the other side of the court. Roman Sorkin led the team in scoring with 15 points and contributed eight rebounds. Maccabi recorded a total of 53 rebounds, 25 of which were offensive boards, in a record-breaking evening.
While more battles await in the Winner’s league, Maccabi’s focus will now shift to the Euroleague. Maccabi will play two Italian opponents within 48 hours, Virtus Bologna on Tuesday and Milano on Thursday. Ending the week with two wins will extend the winning streak to ten and most likely secure the Yellows a playoff ticket.
