Barça lost against Fenerbahce and Monaco.
Which is why a win against Maccabi Tel Aviv was mandatory and the team coached by Xavi Pascual got it in a very easy way.
The blaugrana side dominated the Israeli team, finishing the game 93-83 to jump to a 13-7 balance. Maccabi, that kept Lonnie Walker IV sidelined, is now 8-12.
Toko Shengelia was the MVP of the game, finishing the game with 22 points. Willy Hernangómez also had great minutes and secured a 10+10 double-double.
Tamir Blatt led the guests with 17 points.
Finishing the first quarter with 32-19 on the scoreboard allowed Barça to control the game since that moment.
The local lead only grew as minutes passed, finishing the first half with a 56-44 score that felt an underachievement.
Nothing changed on the second half, as Barça controlled both the game and the scoreboard.
Even tough Maccabi started the fourth quarter with a 0-9 run to cut the deficit down to five (77-72), Barça responded right away and restored the double digit lead, securing the win with no problems.
