Maxi De Colo, Mini Fenerbahçe
Nando De Colo delivered an impressive performance, recording 26 points with efficient shooting: 5/7 on two-pointers and 3/6 on three-pointers. He remained perfect from the free-throw line, sinking all 7 of his attempts. In just 21 minutes and 40 seconds of play, he also drew 4 fouls, dished out 2 assists, grabbed 2 rebounds, committed 2 turnovers, and made 1 steal.
However, it was Maccabi Tel Aviv who ultimately secured the victory. This crucial win brings their record to 16 victories and 16 losses, marking their sixth win in their last seven games, which keeps their playoff aspirations alive.
Roman Sorkin led Maccabi's scoring effort with 19 points, hitting 8 of his 11 two-point shots. Jimmy Clark contributed 16 points, and O'Shae Brissett added 14. Jaylen Hoard nearly achieved a double-double, finishing with 9 points and 9 rebounds.
Maccabi coach Oded Kattash commented after the game: "We approach each game one after another, and we had an excellent first half, both offensively and defensively. We obviously knew they were a great team, very well-coached. They made a comeback and showed a lot of quality. We struggled for long periods in the second half. I think at times we tried to score in the wrong way, but I am very happy with the win."
