Darius Thompson answered with a three-point play before a triple from Smits and a tip-in by Poirier slashed the deficit to 34-38.

Maccabi defeated ASVEL 95-102 at LDLC Arena on Friday night to clinch its eighth in a row against the French powerhouse. The visitors escaped 24-35 early in the second period and led for most of the second half, but they needed to overcome an ASVEL rally in the fourth period as the hosts made it 81-80 with eight minutes remaining.

ASVEL fell to 11-17 after collecting its fifth defeat in a row. Levi Randolph led six Maccabi players in double figures with 19 points. Roman Sorkin, Clark, Rivero and Shayok scored 15 apiece, while Trevion Williams poured in 13.

Olympiacos stayed firmly in the driver’s seat of the EuroLeague standings and improved to 21-7 in the regular season after cruising to an 82-70 home win over Partizan, the club’s 12th in the last 13 games in Europe’s premier club competition. Having already secured a postseason berth with seven games to spare after some results went its way on Thursday evening, Olympiacos made light of the matchup with Partizan as the Greek giant led from start to finish in a lop-sided contest. Sasha Vezenkov paced Olympiacos with 17 points and 6 boards but it was Partizan’s former center Nikola Milutinov who claimed the player of the game accolade after racking up 10 points and 9 boards, while Nigel Williams-Goss posted 10 points and 4 assists. At the other end, Carlik Jones led Partizan on 17 points, Brandon Davies added 14 and captain Vanja Marinkovic chipped in with 12, but Partizan never looked capable of staging an upset as the visitors were devoid of energy and bereft of ideas on offense.

Still, Zalgiris’s hopes of a comeback win were spurned when Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot moved to 7 points by scoring a turnaround mid-range jump shot with 21 seconds left to restore Baskonia's lead for a final score of 66-65.
