Maccabi Tel Aviv makes it 10 straight over Zalgiris

Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv won its second straight Turkish Airlines EuroLeague game since appointing Rami Hadar as head coach and the club’s 10th consecutive game against Zalgiris Kaunas with a 74-87 decision at Zalgirio Arena on Friday. Andrew Goudelock led five Maccabi scorers in double figures with 18 points in helping his team improve to 2-2 on the season. Devin Smith scored 17 points, Sonny Weems added 16, D.J. Seeley 11 and Colton Iverson 10. Lukas Lekavicius turned in a fine all-around effort for the Lithuanian champs with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists as his team fell to 1-3. Zalgiris outrebounded Maccabi 35-24, including 17 offensive boards, but was unable to make up for a poor outside shooting night, which included making just 2 of 17 threes in the first half. Kevin Pangos helped a Zalgiris revival with 3 threes in the second half before fouling out with 11 points. Leo Westermann added 9 points and 7 assists in defeat.
