In an evening that began with the induction of two living legends into the yellow hall of fame, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv defeated Monaco 95:84 thanks to historical performance of another fantastic player.

Scottie Wilbekin watched the emotional ceremony in honor of Oded Katash and Doron Sheffer and reacted with 37 points that helped Maccabi battle past a very tough team at Menora Mivtachim Arena.

The Israeli champs started the game very well, but Monaco rallied back, and only a late fourth-quarter run and a significant contribution from Ante Zizic (14 points, 11 rebounds) secured Maccabi an important victory and a 7:3 Euroleague record.

On Friday, Maccabi will face Olympiacos in Greece in a game between two teams that can be considered as playoff contenders at this point of the season.
