Maccabi sets all-time EuroLeague record with 38 assists!

In 23 seasons and more than 5,000 games, no Turkish Airlines EuroLeague team has ever passed the ball better than Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv did during its 111-80 win against Virtus Segafredo Bologna on Tuesday.
Maccabi dished 38 assists on the night, 2 more than the previous record of 36, which was set by Real Madrid in a 2015-16 regular-season home win over Strasbourg. Maccabi's previous club record had been 31 assists, a total it set twice in the 2003-04 season.
On Tuesday, it was a true team effort in the passing department, as five Maccabi players distributed at least 4 assists each, marking just the 10th such occurrence in EuroLeague history.
Lorenzo Brown led the charge with 8 assists in under 23 minutes played. Wade Baldwin followed him with 7 in under 19 minutes. Big man Jake Cohen more than doubled his career high with 5 dimes, the same number as Darrun Hilliard. And another center, Josh Nebo, dished a career-high 4 himself.
Maccabi raced to a 62-33 halftime lead buoyed by 20 assists, which matched three other EuroLeague teams for the most in any half to date. Remarkably, Maccabi had just 2 turnovers in that first half and 6 for the game.
