Oded Katash\u2019s squad continues to climb the standings thanks to their 9-6 record while Crvena Zvezda will be coming into the game after a loss to Real Madrid and with a record of 5-10 which places them near the bottom of the standings.<\/p>\n<p>One of the keys to Maccabi\u2019s win at their empty home away from home arena in Belgrade is no doubt the emergence of some of the players who are coming off of the bench and are part of the so-called second unit. With Lorenzo Brown and Wade Baldwin struggling, it was the likes of James Webb, Roman Sorkin and Tamir Blatt who came to the forefront to make their mark and a difference that could be seen without a doubt as the reason why the yellow-and-blue took the win.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_81866\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81866\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/53896A52-266B-487F-A424-12D921260119.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1144\" class=\"size-full wp-image-81866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/53896A52-266B-487F-A424-12D921260119.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/53896A52-266B-487F-A424-12D921260119-610x545.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-81866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lorenzo Brown and Wade Baldwin &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nOver the past two seasons it\u2019s clear to see that the dynamic duo of Brown and Baldwin have been the engine that has made Maccabi run and run very well for Katash. When they go cold, it\u2019s been hit or miss in many cases with other players not necessarily being able to provide the play that is needed to win in the Euroleague. But that seems to be an issue that can hopefully be put by the wayside.<\/p>\n<p>Brown who went an abysmal 1\/14 from the field for only 2 points and although he dished out 8 assists, his efficiency rating was -7 while Baldwin went 3\/10 and scored 10 points with 7 helpers along the way. While Josh Nebo (12p\/11r) and Bonzie Colson (12p) the numbers that B&#038;B provided are not going to cut it on a normal night. But have no fear that was where the trio of Webb, Sorkin and Blatt showed up big time with a massive assist in more ways than one to help Maccabi take the victory.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_98231\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98231\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/f6db0d1a-59d7-4ef3-b13c-47bdf40d7c62-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1723\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/f6db0d1a-59d7-4ef3-b13c-47bdf40d7c62-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/f6db0d1a-59d7-4ef3-b13c-47bdf40d7c62-1536x1034.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/f6db0d1a-59d7-4ef3-b13c-47bdf40d7c62-2048x1378.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/f6db0d1a-59d7-4ef3-b13c-47bdf40d7c62-610x411.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-98231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Webb &#8211; Photo credit: Euroleague<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nWebb, who had a rough start to the season has begin to carve out his role very nicely as he checked in with 17 points and 8 rebounds while Sorkin went for 14 points and 7 boards to make up for some of those lost points.

Every day we have to go out and do our job and Thursday is no different.<\/p>\n<p>Maccabi will no doubt have to be very conscious of who takes to the floor with coach Sfairopoulos on the sidelines, however, there are some things that both Red Star and Baskonia excel at Katash commented, \u201cThere is not much time to rest up and prepare. But there are some similarities between the teams which also concerns the offensive rebounds. We will have to be focused. We didn\u2019t have a great offensive game without Brown and Baldwin but we did what we needed to in order to win.
