Maccabi Tel Aviv Grabs Five Offensive Rebounds on One Possession in Finals Game
Maccabi Tel Aviv produced an unusual rebounding sequence in the first quarter of its Israeli Basketball Premier League final against Hapoel Tel Aviv, pulling down five offensive rebounds on one possession before scoring. The play was highlighted by Sport 5, which posted a video clip of the sequence on June 16, 2026 at 21:19.
The possession began with John DiBartolomeo missing a three-pointer. Jimmy Clark then missed from beyond the arc as well, followed by attempts by Will Rayman in the paint and Oshae Brissett. After all five players on the floor had taken a shot during the same sequence, Zach Hankins finished the play with a dunk.
The report said this kind of sequence is rarely seen and noted that coaches often stress rebounding as a key to winning before a game, or as a reason for losing afterward. The article did not say which team won the game, only that the clip came from the championship series between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
