Game Notes: Maccabi vs. Monaco



Monaco handed the Israeli champ a 107-79 thrashing in October behind the usual stellar showing from Mike James with 24 points, including 4 triples, and he remains in spectacular form with at least 16 points in eight straight games. Maccabi has won three of its last four games, in large part thanks to big man Josh Nebo, who has averaged 19 points and 8 rebounds in his last three appearances.
