Following three consecutive defeats, Oded Kattash's side controlled the entire 40 minutes, steadily building their lead quarter by quarter on their way to an emphatic victory. McKinley Wright did everything he could to turn the tide, tallying 23 points and eight rebounds, but could not overcome their inspired opponents. Alongside him, Alec Peters was the only other double-digit scorer with 12 points, while the winning side boasted four players in double figures — Yam Madar led the way with 17 points and four assists, Bonzie Colson and Jaylen Hoard added 13 apiece, and Roman Sorkin chipped in with 12.

In the upcoming round, Maccabi will travel to face Barcelona, while Olimpia host Real Madrid.
