Kostas Kaimakoglou was a menace in the paint as he scored 12 points and had seven rebounds while Dimitris Diamantidis and Sarunas Jasikevicius also scored double figures.
Devin Smith and Keith Langford top scored for Maccabi with 14 but disappointed from three-point range shooting a combined 1-9. In total the hosts were just 4-23 from beyond the arc.
