Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv leaned on outstanding defense to give its playoffs challenge a major boost with a 70-77 road victory at FC Bayern Munich. The visiting team led for most of the night, establishing a double-digit lead in the third quarter and staying in front the rest of the way despite a fourth quarter rally from Bayern. The two sides are now both at 12-13, alongside three other teams in a five-way tie for seventh place ahead of Friday’s games.
