Maccabi Tel Aviv's struggles continued as they were decisively defeated 88-67 by Partizan Belgrade in their tenth EuroLeague game. The team, coached by Oded Katash, found themselves unable to match the Serbian team's pace and intensity throughout the contest. This marks Maccabi's sixth consecutive loss across all competitions, with four of those coming in the EuroLeague, deepening their current crisis and dropping their record to 2-8.
Partizan established control early, building a 16-point lead by exploiting Maccabi's porous defense. Despite efforts from Jimmy Clark and Bonzie Colson to narrow the gap to five points by the end of the first quarter, Partizan reasserted dominance in the second quarter, capitalizing on Maccabi's errors to lead 50-35 at halftime. The second half saw a slow start from both teams, but Partizan gradually regained control, maintaining a significant lead and entering the final quarter up 72-52.
In the final period, Partizan struggled to score, but Maccabi failed to capitalize, unable to mount a serious challenge. Although they managed to reduce the deficit slightly, they couldn't threaten Partizan's advantage. In the closing minutes, Maccabi collapsed defensively and offensively, allowing Partizan to extend their lead once more for a disappointing final score. Key scorers for Partizan included Ethan Thompson with 16 points and Lamar Stevens with 14, while Daniel Theis led Maccabi with 11 points.
Maccabi Tel Aviv now faces a challenging double-header against city rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv. They will first compete in the Winner Cup final on Monday, November 9th, followed by their eleventh EuroLeague matchup on Thursday, November 12th.
