Maccabi dominated Valencia on the glass

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv used a great rebounding performance and punished the few turnovers committed by Valencia Basket to grab a crucial 93-94 road victory.
Maccabi out-rebounded Valencia 40-22 including 15 offensive rebounds to just 7 for Valencia. Bonzie Colson was Maccabi’s biggest weapon on the glass with 12 rebounds. Still, oddly enough, Maccabi was outscored 16-11 on second-chance points.
While Valencia was ultra-effectivee in using its offensive rebounds, Maccabi was just as good in scoring off turnovers. Valencia committed just 1 turnover in the first half but Maccabi forced 5 miscues within 5 minutes in the third quarter to shift the momentum. Maccabi outscored Valencia 16-9 on turnovers as the visitors lost the ball 12 times. John DiBartolomeo hit 1 of his 5 three-pointers after a turnover and Wade Baldwin gave Maccabi its first lead of the second half after another turnover. That gave Maccabi the confidence it needed to finish the job.
