The Yellows recovered well from the Euroleague loss to Red Star and started the Winner league campaign with an emphatic win. Keenan Evans (14 points) led five players who scored in double-figures
The Yellows left behind the loss to Red Star Belgrade in the Euroleague and showed an uncompromising defense and a balanced points distribution on offense.

Five different Maccabi players scored in double digits, led by Keenan Evans, who scored 14 points against his ex-team. Yiftach Ziv had an excellent evening with 12 points and five assists. Scottie Wilbekin was quiet by his standards but reached a milestone of 1,000 league points in the regular season.
List of scorers: Keenan Evans 14 points, Jalen Reynolds and Yiftach Ziv 12, John DiBartolomeo and Derrick Williams 11, Jake Cohen 6, Kameron Taylor 5, Roman Sorkin and Oded Brandwein 4, Scottie Wilbekin 3, Oz Blayzer 2.
