AS Monaco-Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv | RS Round 2 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
Vildoza and Wenyen Gabriel traded scores inside before 5 points from Vezenkov and a corner triple from Fournier gave Olympiacos an early 2-10 lead. Blatt netted a jumper and Randolph drilled a triple, but Vezenkov added another 6 points to his tally and Moustapha Fall scored in the paint for a 12-20 cushion. A three-pointer from David DeJulius was followed by Milutinov’s first bucket of the night before Kostas Papanikolaou buried one from beyond the arc to make it 16-25. An exchange of blows followed from inside, as buckets from Saben Lee and DeJulius trimmed the deficit to 24-29 after 10 minutes.
Milutinov and Moses Wright opened the second quarter with back-to-back baskets, but Maccabi responded with a 7-0 run energized by an explosive Gabriel to make it 31-33. Olympiacos replied with Wright netting a hook and Tyler Dorsey completing a three-point play to restore a 31-38 lead. Maccabi fought back and went on a 13-0 run inspired by Jokubaitis, Hoard and Randolph, who dominated in the paint against the opposing forwards. Sorkin nailed a triple and William Rayman scored a put-back basket before a triple from Lee allowed Maccabi to take a 53-42 lead into the second half.
Thomas Walkup started the third with a midrange jumper, but 4 points from Sorkin gave Maccabi a 57-44 lead. A Vildoza triple was followed by Fournier’s three-point play before another triple from the former brought Olympiacos within 59-55. Gabriel netted inside, but 7 points from Fournier put Olympiacos ahead, 61-62. The visitors tightened up their defense and ran in transition, extending their run to 2-13 for a 63-70 cushion after 30 minutes.
Nigel Williams-Goss and Vildoza scored inside but 4 points from Randolph and a bucket from Hoard trimmed the deficit to 71-74. Buckets from Milutinov and Fournier sandwiched a Sorkin triple before a three-point play from Williams-Goss opened a 76-81 margin. Yet, Rayman nailed one from deep and Hoard made 2 from the line to bring Maccabi within 81-82 with 2:47 remaining. A Fournier triple was followed by a layup from Jokubaitis in transition, but Williams-Goss drilled a corner three-pointer to restore an 83-88 lead.
After Blatt responded with a midrange jumper, a hard-fought Milutinov bucket inside made it 85-90 with a minute left on the clock. Then, Sorkin netted 3 free throws to make it a 2-point game, but Vezenkov hit from the charity stripe to make it a two-possession duel, 88-92, with 16 seconds to go. Blatt nailed a quick triple before Vezenkov scored free throws for a 91-94 cushion with 0:10 left. In Maccabi’s last possession of the game, Lee missed from deep to seal the outcome.
