Quarter conclusion:
The opening quarter is in the sack, the encounter is extremely balanced and, with a score of 23:23, strongly influenced by the offensive.

What a wild combination! Tamir Blatt plays a wide, optimistic pass into da Silva’s run from his own half. While he is still checking not to run out of bounds when checking the pass, he throws the leather ‘behind the back’ into the zone and, without having looked, actually finds Thiemann, who sinks the layup under pressure. Highlight play!

With a score of 17:19 and 02:44 on the quarter o’clock, Ioannis Sfairopoulos takes the first timeout. The first ten minutes are already extremely exciting and hard-fought.

After Lô’s strong start, the guard has already produced two avoidable turnovers.

Here’s the addendum to the starting five: Caloiaro, Evans, Wilbekin, Williams and Žižić were on the floor from the start for Tel Aviv. Lammers, Lô, Sikma, Smith and Zoosman started near Berlin.

ALBA gets into the game well and has ten points after three minutes and twelve after four. The only problem: Maccabi also got off to a good start and couldn’t be shaken off.

Three point play… by Ben Lammers! On a pass from Yovel Zoosman, the center goes up under the basket, gets fouled, but scores anyway! It counts! And also the free throw is sitting.

Maodo Lô directly hot! That’s how you go into a game. The Albatrosses’ point guard sinks both his first three-point attempt and his first shot from the field and is up to five points early on!

It goes into the first quarter!
20:14
In a total of 13 meetings between the two clubs, the Israelis got the upper hand eleven times. Can the albatrosses gloss over that statistic today? A key duel could be the match-up between the two guards and top scorers of their teams Scottie Wilbekin (15.1 ppg) and Maodo Lo (13.0 ppg). Can one of the two possibly have a decisive influence on the game?

Maccabi “Electra Tel Aviv”, currently sixth in their domestic league, ended their run of eight straight defeats at international level by beating Olympiakos. However, the team around coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos also lost its last game on the national stage. In the end, it was extremely close in this encounter as well: Ironically, Maccabi lost 78:77 to city rivals and table neighbors Hapoel Tel-Aviv.

Today’s encounter is something very special, especially for two players on the German side. Both ex-Maccabi player Yovel Zoosman and former head coach David Blatt’s son, Tamir Blatt, are visiting the Menora Mivtachim Arena for the first time as opponents of the 53-time Israeli champions.
19:48
After the winning streak of five games in a row, in which the albatrosses also defeated AS Monaco, they recently suffered three defeats in a row. The encounter with the MHP giants from Ludwigsburg two days ago was particularly bitter, in which the capital city only ended up with one point less on the scoreboard. Spurred on by this still fresh disappointment, they absolutely want to get back on track today and at the same time avoid losing touch with the international midfield.
19:38
With Tel Aviv, the Berliners, who are currently 16th and third from bottom in the EuroLeague, meet 13th in the top European division. With a win against the Israeli top club, the team around head coach Israel González would at least draw level with Baskonia in 15th place in the table and move up to two points behind today’s opponents.
