It was a must-win game for Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv today at Menora Mivtachim Arena. With their backs against the wall, the Yellows delivered a tremendous performance, defeating Monaco 104-69 and forcing a fifth and deciding game in this thrilling Euroleague quarterfinals series against the French.
It didn't look great at the beginning. Maccabi struggled to score in the opening minutes, allowing Monaco to take an early 13-5 lead. A three-pointer from Lorenzo Brown and points from Bonzie Colson leveled the score at 13-13. However, the visitors' defense improved significantly, allowing them to finish the first quarter with a 24-17 lead.
The Yellows' response was clinical. Wade Baldwin's incredible alley-oop and four straight three-pointers from Jake Cohen and Brown helped Maccabi secure a stunning 20-0 run, with the fans at Menora Mivtachim Arena providing an electrifying atmosphere. Maccabi led 47-36 at halftime.
The momentum was carried to the second half, big time. Brown's fifth three-pointer of the evening increased the lead to 19 points (69-50), and Baldwin's long three-pointer sealed the deal, giving Maccabi a 79-53 lead after three quarters. The final ten minutes saw both teams trading baskets while waiting for the final buzzer.
Game 5 on Wednesday will be a win-or-go-home game. A victory in Monaco will send Maccabi back to the Final Four after nine years. With the spirit they showed today, the Yellows have a great chance of achieving this significant milestone.
