Maccabi Tel Aviv sealed a place in the Euroleague quarterfinals Thursday night with a 103-100 away win over Real Madrid.

Maccabi sealed the narrow win in overtime, which was forced after a three-pointer by Yotam Halperin.
The pick of the scorers for Maccabi was Terrance Morris, with 23 points, while Halperin and Nikola Vujcic each finished with 16.
A victory next Thursday against Lithuanian side Zalgiris Kaunas will assure Maccabi of first place in group F and give Tel Aviv home advantage in the next stage.
