Two European giants hit the floor this Thursday when Maccabi Electra hosted Real Madrid in the Euroleague Top 16 phase. It wasn’t a surprise when they provided the most exciting game of the evening. The home side had the lead at the half, but secure play from the Spanish side allowed them to continue their dominance in Group F. They have regained the top position, which CSKA Moscow held only for couple of hours after their win over Bayern Munich earlier today.
