Beaubois made the layup to give his team the lead (91-89) and then blocked Scottie Wilbekin’s game-winning three-pointer, sealing the deal for the hosts.

Anadolu Efes won its second straight game and improved to 3-3. On the other hand, Maccabi, which saw Elijah Bryant have a team-high 22 points, dropped to 2-5.
