Game Recap
Virtus Bologna edged Maccabi Tel Aviv 89-85 in EuroLeague play, using efficient shot-making to secure a four-point road win. Virtus shot 26-of-40 from the field (65.0%) and matched Maccabi with seven made threes, giving them a steady offensive base in a game that stayed within a few possessions late.
Maccabi kept pace behind Lonnie Walker’s game-high 24 points and strong ball movement (24 assists), but their perimeter efficiency lagged (7-of-24 from three). Virtus’ ability to convert at a higher rate inside the arc helped them withstand Maccabi’s runs and maintain control in key stretches.
Carsen Edwards led Virtus with 19 points, with Derrick Alston Jr. (18), Saliou Niang (16), and A. Diarra (13) providing balanced scoring support. Virtus also held a narrow edge on the glass (28-25), helping them finish possessions and generate enough extra opportunities to offset Maccabi’s playmaking.
The result gives Virtus a valuable EuroLeague win built on elite overall shooting and balanced production, while Maccabi is left to rue missed perimeter chances in a tight finish. Going forward, Virtus can point to their offensive efficiency and depth as repeatable strengths, while Maccabi will look to pair Walker’s scoring with more consistent three-point conversion to close out close games.
