Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv finally picked up its first road victory of 2023 as it used a big second half to down Valencia Basket 93-94 - and that just two days after it couldn’t hold a second-half lead at FC Barcelona.
Maccabi gave up 55 first-half points to Valencia but showed its character after the break by racing ahead by 10 points midway through the third quarter. Still, Maccabi’s road nerves shined through a bit - as well as Valencia’s quality from having won five straight games - and the lead was just 1 point after 30 minutes.
