Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz put a great end to a glorious 2016 by downing Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv 101-88 in front of over 14,800 fans at Fernando Buesa Arena on Thursday. Baskonia improved to 10-5 at the halfway mark of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season while Maccabi dropped to 5-10.

Toko Shengelia added 22 points, Rodrigue Beaubois had 14, Shane Larkin tallied 13 points and 13 assists and Chase Budinger contributed 12 points for Baskonia. A triple by Adam Hanga midway through the third quarter marked 30,000 points for the club in the EuroLeague. Victor Rudd led Maccabi with 20 points and Andrew Goudelock and Sonny Weems each had 13 for the visitors, who made 14 of 22 three-point shots. Baskonia forced Maccabi into 19 turnovers while committing just 8.

Rudd shined early with a corner three-pointer and a big dunk off the baseline to give Maccabi a 5-7 lead. Shengelia and Larkin each struck from downtown to put Baskonia ahead 11-10. Shengelia kept pushing the hosts and got help from Voigtmann and Ilimane Diop to boost the Baskonia's lead to 23-17. Maik Zirbes scored down low and added 3 free throws, but Adam Hanga and Rafa Luz took over with back-to-back layups and Budinger struck from downtown for a 30-24 Baskonia lead after 10 minutes. Weems buried a turnaround jumper and Goudelock followed an eight-meter circus shot with a jumper that helped Maccabi regain the lead at 31-33 midway through the second quarter. Shengelia stepped up with a layup and a jumper and Voigtmann added a three-pointer for a 42-38 Baskonia edge, which Rudd cut to 42-40 with a huge alley-oop dunk seconds before the halftime buzzer. Devin Smith sank a triple and Goudelock added a floater for a 44-45 Maccabi lead soon after the break. A big dunk by Shengelia highlighted a 11-0 Baskonia run, which Voigtmann capped with a close basket. Rudd and Goudelock buried consecutive triples, but an unstoppable Voigtmann restored a double-digit Baskonia lead, 62-52. Rudd and Smith stepped up for the guests and got help from D.J. Seeley to bring Maccabi a bit closer, 71-64, after 30 minutes. Sylven Landesberg and Gal Mekel each hit one from beyond the arc to get Maccabi as close as 73-70. It didn't last long, however, as Beaubois and Voigtmann fueled a 15-0 run that Hanga capped with a wild slam that sealed the outcome, 87-70. Maccabi kept trying, but the Baskonia fans had plenty of time to celebrate their team's 10th win.
