Maccabi again was led by their superb perimeter combo of Lorenzo Brown and Wade Baldwin. They combined for 28 points, 15 assists, and 46 PIR.

Coach Sergio Scariolo gave special praise to the Maccabi duo.

"Maccabi's pace was absolutely unsustainable for us. I think that they have arguably the best backcourt [Brown-Baldwin] in the competition," Scariolo emphasized in the post-game conference. "It's difficult to find the better one. This gave them a tremendous pace. Other players followed their leaders really well."

Maccabi were 26-of-37 from two (70.2% 2FG), 15-of-32 from three (46.9% 3FG), and 14-of-15 from the free-throw line (93.3% FT).

In addition, the Israeli powerhouse dished EuroLeague's all-time high 38 assists.
