Koti Clark vs. Reggie Apshou (Radad Jabara)

The 12th round of the Winner Basket League continues at this time on the floor at the Kvutzat Shlomo Hall, where Hapoel Tel Aviv hosts Bnei Herzliya for a direct battle between two teams that want to escape from the bottom.

The host came to the game in the shadow of the lawsuit filed by captain Yam Madar against the club and after the 85:69 defeat against Maccabi Tel Aviv in a derby in the last round. The Reds must put the professional troubles, as well as those not related to what is happening on the floor, aside and get back on the winning track so as not to continue to sink to the bottom.
