Maccabi (1-2) and Barcelona (2-1) will attempt to build more momentum when they meet in Belgrade.
Game Notes: Maccabi vs. Barcelona



After breaking a club-scoring record by blazing 108 points against Valencia last week, Barca will hope last week’s star Kevin Punter and league-leading scorer Will Clyburn can keep on firing to extend a six-game winning run over Maccabi. But the home team significantly boosted its morale with a derby victory over Hapoel last time out, and possesses a potent scorer of its own in the form of Lonnie Walker (16 and 20 points in the last two games). Barca will look to use the experience of Tomas Satoransky to control the influence of Maccabi playmaker Tamir Blatt, who averages 6.3 assists per game.
