Maccabi Tel Aviv achieved an exceptional three-point shooting performance during their away game against Valencia on Thursday, a stark contrast to their season's struggles from beyond the arc. In their first five EuroLeague games, the team averaged only 7.8 three-pointers at a 31% success rate. However, in the first half against Valencia, Maccabi sank 8 out of 14 three-point attempts (57.1%), surpassing their typical full-game average. This remarkable offensive display saw them leading by a surprising double-digit margin early on and heading into halftime with an impressive 50-48 lead. The team also maintained a strong two-point shooting percentage, hitting 13 of 19 attempts (68.4%), placing them among the top teams in the EuroLeague for this metric. Notably, Maccabi recorded zero free-throw attempts in the first 20 minutes of play, an unusual statistic for the team. This offensive surge appears to be their best shooting game of the season so far, following a recent game where they made 12 three-pointers.
