Maccabi Tel-Aviv made a crucial step towards the EuroLeague playoffs, following the triumph over Real Madrid at home (75-74).
The hosts improved to 13-11 in the standings and overcame Bayern Munich (12-11). On the other hand, already-qualified Real Madrid dropped to 18-8 on the table. The “Whites”, though, still have the upper hand for the second place.
MVP: Five players scored in double figures for the winners, with Keenan Evans leading the way with 19. Guerschon Yabusele and Vincent Poirier were the top scorers for the losing squad, with 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Key to victory: Maccabi closed the game on a 10-0 run that decided the outcome. The Israelis played excellent on both ends in the fourth quarter and outscored their opponents 16-8. In addition, they remained undefeated at home in 2022.
Next week, Maccabi will host ASVEL Villeurbanne, aiming to come closer to the postseason. For its part, Real Madrid travels to Athens to face Panathinaikos. Both games will take place on Thursday.
