Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv recorded its second consecutive Euroleague loss - 72:83 to Olimpia Milano in Italy. The yellows had a bad start to the game, and although the second half was much improved, mainly due to Derrick Williams (19 points) and James Nunnally's (16) contribution, they dropped to a 1:2 record in the competition.
The Italians who made the Final Four last season managed to stop Scottie Wilbekin and disrupt Maccabi's game, yet there are some bright spots. Derrick Williams found his rhythm and scored four threes. James Nunnally showed an all-around ability with seven rebounds and five assists. And the strong defense Maccabi played from the beginning of the season regained itself in the second half.
The next challenge on Thursday will be The French champions, ASVEL Villeurbanne, who are still undefeated in the Euroleague (3:0 record).
