The leading team was constantly changing, and with 11 seconds left in the game, Chris Jones hit his first colon of the match and led Maccabi forward 80:78. There were still 3 seconds left in the game, Cory Higgins tied the score and the teams played an overtime.
There was a smooth and persistent fight during overtime, with the biggest difference recorded in the first half of overtime of just 3 points. There are still 2 minutes to play. 19 sec. Brandon Davies made two free throws, Maccabi made a mistake, Higgins added two more goals and Barcelona went ahead by 4 points.
Maccabi didn’t fold, soon Elijah Bryant hit a triple, Higgins missed a colon and Tyler Dorsey hit a second Maccabi 3-pointer in 23 seconds, with the hosts leading at 92:90.
After a minute break from Jasikevičius, Barcelona came back with a pretty good attack and led Kyle Kurica to a free kick, but attacked imprecisely. Luckily for the Catalan club, Nikola MIrotičius bounced the ball on attack and caused two free throws after causing a foul – 92:92.
In the next attack, Scottie Wilbekin made an individual effort towards the basket, but attacked imprecisely, but Ante Zizičius bounced the ball and carried Maccabi forward 94:92 with just 30 seconds left.
With 12 seconds left, Higgins found the corridor to the basket, whose colon without complications restored equality – 94:94.
Maccabi did not even manage to shoot the ball, and N. Mirotičius was penalized for a technical foul, because he threw the ball at opponents by throwing it far away.
E.Bryantas realized the penalty throw-in, and soon Barcelona committed an infraction and E.Bryantas got two more fines.
With 6 seconds to go, Barcelona took Brandon Davies completely free to the line of three, who attacked imprecisely and allowed 3,000. Maccabi fans are insane: their supported team has scored a dramatic victory.
“Maccabi”: Ante Zizičius 24, Draganas Benderis 16, Angelo Caloaro 12, Omri Casspi 11, Scottie Wilbekin and Ellijah Bryant – 10 each.
“Barcelona”: Nikola Mirotičius 23, Cory Higginsas 20, Kyle’as Kuricas and Brandonas Daviesas – for 12.
