That was the bad news. The good news? Zenit was worse only putting in 9 points during that frame and as bad as Maccabi was they still were able to tale a 31-30 lead into halftime.

Gustavo Ayon was extremely effective in the first half with 10 points, but scored only 2 points in the third quarter and none in the final frame. Maccabi cleaned up their act very, very quickly over halftime and made a game that was looking to be close into the exact opposite. Elijah Bryant spoke about what happened after halftime, \u201cWe locked in on getting stops and rebounds and we were able to go on a run. When they send five guys to the glass it gives us a chance to run and go on transition.\u201d Tyler Dorsey also talked about transitioning from the first half to the start of the third quarter, \u201cIt was a tough first half and they were on the offensive glass all night especially in the first half. We limited them to one shot after the half and we were able to play transition. The starters started it off and the bench continued it.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_16115\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/7CE45AC2-EF71-4D6E-BD5C-448BB54AAD83.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16115\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/7CE45AC2-EF71-4D6E-BD5C-448BB54AAD83-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16115\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dov Halickman Photography<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n3) <strong>Speaking of Tyler Dorsey, he was fabulous for Maccabi<\/strong>. The guard scored 17 points in close to 23 minutes of action and came up big in the fourth quarter to steady the ship when Zenit began to make their run. After coming over from the NBA to Europe this season, Dorsey has really begun to understand the basketball that is played here. Yes, Dorsey has played for the Greek National Youth Teams in the past and he would like to play this summer for the senior team under Rick Pitino whom he will have a chance to impress on Thursday night when Panathinaikos comes to Yad Eliyahu for a visit, \u201cWe need to protect home court and we need the fans to be loud as we have the best court advantage in the Euroleague. They\u2019re also a Greek team so that\u2019s motivation for me.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_16863\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gustavo-ayon-zenit-st-petersburg-eb19.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16863\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gustavo-ayon-zenit-st-petersburg-eb19-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"size-large wp-image-16863\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16863\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Euroleague.net<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>Overtime<\/strong><br \/>\nOthello Hunter somehow keeps coming up with huge performance after huge performance.

The big man is playing his best basketball and has been the veteran presence day in and day out. He was interviewed after the game and as usual didn\u2019t look to take any credit, \u201cDefensively I gave up too many offensive rebounds.

Zoos played 23 minutes and put up 9 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals while Avdija scored 7 points, grabbed 7 boards and added 3 assists in the victory. The young Israelis were key players in the win and as the season continues on they are coming more and more into their own. As each game goes by they are both being relied upon more and more by Coach Sfairopoulos especially with a short roster, but the experience they are gaining now will go a long, long way as the season progresses. \u201cEvery road game is tough,\u201d explained Avdija. \u201cEvery team can win on any night.
