Maccabi forces Game 5 with dominant display over Monaco

Tel Aviv side prevails 104-69 in Game 4 and will play for a Final Four berth next week in Montecarlo

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv avoided elimination with its first home playoff win in eight years in spectacular fashion on Thursday, blowing out AS Monaco 104-69 to force a do-or-die Game 5 next week in their series. After trailing 17-24 after 10 minutes, Maccabi outscored Monaco 62-29 in the middle quarters to win going away. The backcourt duo of Lorenzo Brown and Wade Baldwin led six Maccabi double-digit scorers with 22 and 19 points, repectively. A 20-0 run to start the second quarter turned the game around and Maccabi never looked back on the way to a Game 5 date in Monaco next Wednesday.
