New Efes (10-15) coach Tomislav Mijatovic will look to start his reign with another win against 10th-placed Maccabi (13-12).
Game Facts: Efes vs. Maccabi



The Turkish team will hope to build on last week's success against Milan, once again led by Shane Larkin with 19 points. Maccabi has struggled on the road, especially defensively, with five straight losses allowing at least 88 points. Efes will target a win of 10 points or more after suffering a 95-86 loss at Maccabi in December, with Bonzie Colson producing one of his many excellent performances by pairing 19 points with 7 rebounds. That game also featured 21 points from Lorenzo Brown, whose backcourt battle alongside Wade Baldwin with Larkin and Darius Thompson will be worth the admission price alone.
