The big man signed with Maccabi last season as an injury replacement for Tarik Black and played admirably while in Yellow &#038; Blue, but when COVID-19 hit and the Euroleague decided to cancel the 2019\/20 season coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos and the club decided to not extend the center\u2019s contract and let him go as a free agent.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Highlights: FC Bayern Munich vs Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv 72:70\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DWsxDJjB9OY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nAs they say one man\u2019s loss is another man\u2019s gain and that has certainly been the case for Bayern\u2019s head coach Andrea Trinchieri. Reynolds has been spectacular all season long as one of the league leaders in points and rebounds and he came into his second game against his former club ready to go. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s always fun playing against a team you played for in the past,\u201d said Reynolds. \u201cI just wanted to have a chip on my shoulder tonight as far as being an all-around teammate, passing the ball, finishing when they hit me. This is a special night and I\u2019m happy that we got the win.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_30200\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30200\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGiM0AXAAIb5Y_.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGiM0AXAAIb5Y_.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGiM0AXAAIb5Y_-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGiM0AXAAIb5Y_-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGiM0AXAAIb5Y_-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGiM0AXAAIb5Y_-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGiM0AXAAIb5Y_-1080x608.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Bayern Munich<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nReynolds kept Bayern hanging around all evening long and effectively ended his former team\u2019s Euroleague campaign leaving Maccabi with a very slim chance to make it to the postseason. <\/p>\n<p>Going into the game at 10-13, Maccabi needed to win and win desperately. They knew it was do or die and that every game from here on in was a final. However, Wade Baldwin came up huge in the fourth quarter to lead Bayern to a 21-12 period and clip Maccabi at the wire,\u201dIt was a tough one from the start. Maccabi\u2019s a hungry team, they have incredible guards and an awesome big man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Yellow &#038; Blue had one awesome big man in Ante Zizic who scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds because the other center Othello Hunter was definitely not awesome with only 2 points and 3 boards in 13+ minutes.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_30171\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30171\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGXoBiWgAQmtFB.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGXoBiWgAQmtFB.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGXoBiWgAQmtFB-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGXoBiWgAQmtFB-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGXoBiWgAQmtFB-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGXoBiWgAQmtFB-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGXoBiWgAQmtFB-1080x1080.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGXoBiWgAQmtFB-440x440.jpeg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30171\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wade Baldwin &#8211; Photo Credit: Bayern Munich<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nIt wasn\u2019t just Baldwin with 8 points in the final frame that made all of the difference.

But we didn\u2019t execute well on offense in the 4th quarter and we missed a lot of rebounds and gave up 2-3 easy layups.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_30173\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30173\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGYmXqXcAg4aJy-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGYmXqXcAg4aJy-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGYmXqXcAg4aJy-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGYmXqXcAg4aJy-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGYmXqXcAg4aJy-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGYmXqXcAg4aJy-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGYmXqXcAg4aJy-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/EvGYmXqXcAg4aJy-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-30173\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andrea Trinchieri &#8211; Photo Credit: Bayern Munich<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nMissing rebounds was the name of the game for Maccabi as they allowed the hosts to grab 14 offensive boards and that\u2019s a number which makes winning a game very, very hard. The efficiency rating was also way in favor of the German side 86-69 despite only winning by two points. All in all, Trinchieri always seems to have a way of pulling a win out of the hat; he\u2019s an expert at that. \u201cI want to congratulate Maccabi for playing a great game. They played really, really tough on defense and forced us to really raise our level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Maccabi moral victories are worthless at this point of the season as the campaign continues to march forward with the Yellow &#038; Blue going the wrong direction, but that has been the case all setons long. How many close losses have Maccabi endured this year?
