When Maccabi Tel Aviv loses twice in three days, it arrives nervous in the next game, especially when the opponent is Hapoel Tel Aviv. The result: a one-sided game almost the entire length and a crushing 69:85 at the end.
Even so, the gaps in quality and depth between the two teams are huge, and when the Yellows reach such a high level of readiness, the city rival really has no chance. Scotty Wilbkin, who was rested against Hapoel Gilboa / Galil, came sharp and fresh and finished with 23 points in 23 minutes, including 5 of 9 from outside the arc. Yuval Sussman was also good with 13 points and 5 rebounds.
On the other side, Yam Madar continued to flourish with 22 points (10 of 13 from the field) and 6 rebounds, but apart from that, no one can be named for the Reds. On Wednesday, a critical battle awaits them against Bnei Herzliya, in which the winner will be able to lift her head above the water and escape a little from the red line.
the progress of the game
Quarter 1: The Yellows started the game better with not a bad ability from Ethelo Hunter and Yuval Sussman, and a three by Dibertolomeo set 13:20.

Quarter 2: Scotty Wilbkin buried a three that bounced the difference to 18:31 and caused Castritis to call a timeout. The Yellows continued to dominate the game and took the lead at 19 with Wilbkin already with 18 points in the middle of the second quarter. With the exception of Yam Madar, who scored 10 points in the first half, the Reds have no solutions for the champion’s ability, which fell to the half with an advantage. 28:51.
Quarter 3: The Yellows continue to sail for an easy drive-in victory. In the quarter of Garbage Time, the Reds did win, but the difference remained too big for them – 46:65.
Quarter 4: The last quarter was also a watershed one, with the Reds not really threatening the difference of Maccabi Tel Aviv that remained around the 20 difference until the end – 69:85 To the yellows.
